Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif lauded Virat Kohli for his remarkable run in ODIs, saying the star batter’s fitness, hunger, dedication and consistency are qualities that the youth can learn from. Kaif recalled the criticism Kohli faced after being dismissed for consecutive ducks during India’s tour of Australia, with some questioning whether the former India captain could continue at the highest level. “I still remember when Virat Kohli was out for consecutive ducks twice in Australia; people started commenting that Virat Kohli can no longer do it and should retire.
Since then, he has played 11 innings, scored over 900 runs, including four centuries-and I am talking about ODIs,” Kaif said in a video shared on his X handle. “Nine sixes, ten fours, 139 not out off just 88 balls. During India’s chase, captain Shubman Gill also produced a strong batting performance, scoring 110 and providing India with a solid foundation.
He plays in the IPL, becomes a back-to-back champion with RCB, and wins Man of the Match in both finals,” the former cricketer said. Kaif further said Kohli’s performances in ODIs demonstrated his commitment to the format and his ability to maintain a high standard. Youth can learn hunger, dedication, penance, hard work, and how to maintain that standard,” he said.
He has never done this before-this is something new, a new avatar that Virat Kohli has brought out. If your bat works, no one can touch you. Virat Kohli made up his mind about this. “Here, in ODIs, he scores runs in every match. He is doing a fantastic job. That is why I say, what can youth learn from him? Youth can learn fitness.
Since then, do you know what Virat Kohli has done?
