India’s former cricketer and now a commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu firmly believes that Virat Kohli will continue to play for another two-three years after his remarkable century against Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy.
Virat Kohli Makes Solid Comeback
Virat Kohli was seen struggling with form recently but in the match against Pakistan he made a stellar comeback by displaying confidence from the beginning of the innings and dispatched beautiful cover drives that set a tone for his knock. Sidhu praised Kohli’s resilience and remarked that his outstanding performance against Pakistan proved that the batter would likely add 10 to 15 more centuries to his career tally.
Sidhu Opines On Virat Kohli’s Future
“Character is not made in a crisis, it is exhibited. This is a man (Virat Kohli) with pedigree, with passion. And after this 100, I can say it with conviction that this man is playing for the next 2 or 3 years and he is getting another 10 to 15 hundreds. That, you take it from me. Because, you see, the ultimate litmus test for anyone is how he goes through the adverse times, how he embraces adversity. Last six months, there has been so much going on that he chose his moment. When he scored runs against Pakistan, people are not going to forget it for 10 years,” Sidhu said on JioStar Network.
“When You Look At Virat Kohli, It’s The Cover Drive”
“Look, when you assess Virat Kohli, what is his trademark? If I look at Sachin Tendulkar, it was always the back foot punch that he would give. Look at Gavaskar, the straight drive. When you look at Virat Kohli, it’s the cover drive. And when he gets his head on top of the ball and he’s cover driving beautifully, you know he’s back. If you look at the initial part of his innings, if you look at these drives, you know that this is the Virat Kohli of old,” he added.
