Former Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting spoke regarding the dip in form of Virat Kohli and in an interaction with ICC, the former Australian skipper had stated that Virat has only scored two Test hundreds in the past five years. Ponting was questioned by Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir regarding his statement on Virat’s Test form. However, GG isn’t the only one who slammed the former Aussie skipper. Ex-Australian cricketer Shane Lee has also schooled Ricky Ponting regarding his statement on Virat Kohli.
While speaking to Fox Cricket, Shane Lee stated that what is Ricky Ponting doing. Lee stated that is a really bad move from Ponting and it will only fire up Virat Kohli to score up more runs. Shane Lee said, “That is a bad move, Ricky. What are you doing? You are going to fire that guy up. He is a world class player and he will fire up out here.”
Virat Kohli has been a world-class player and has always been at his best when it comes to scoring runs in Australia. The 2014-15 tour of Australia will be a very worth remembering series for Virat where the latter smashed more than 600 runs with four hundreds from four games. Kohli was having a nightmare 2014 wherein he was exposed by the likes of James Anderson and Stuart Broad on the England tour earlier that year. However, he made a great return to form and now is being known as the greatest match winners in international cricket.
