Former Indian Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes that Virt Kohli still has one or two years of test cricket left and should continue to play. Ashwin emphasized Kohli’s extraordinary energy and intensity in all aspects of the game-it was with a bat in his hand, his role as a captain, or simply as a hard competitor.
Kohli announced his retirement from the test cricket She ended the famous journey on Monday, which began in 2011. The former Indian captain gathered 9 230 runs in 123 test matches on average 46.85, including the 30 centuries. As a captain, he led India to test test No. 1 and organized a historical victory in Australia in 2018-19.
“What made him stand out was his crazy energy level-it is already a launch, a captain or just a competitor. Sometimes I just wanted to ask a virtage,” What did you have for breakfast today? “Ashwin said when he spoke on his YouTube channel.
Ashwin speculated because of the decision and wondered if Kohli’s trademark was affected by his greatest power of MIGHT affected his retirement.
“But I can’t help, but I feel that the virat remained in it for one or two years (test cricket). This question has been running in my head for some time. Could its energy level lead to retire?
Ashwin plunged deeper and offered a poignant view of the burden of elite performance. He suggested that tireless persecution of excellence can sometimes take a toll even at the best athletes.
“The search for perfection can sometimes lead to your extinction in sports. Sometimes the scale you have set yourself can return to chase you. From the team’s point of view, his” reduced “benchmark has proven effective,” Ashwin added.
The departure of Kohli contributes to the growing list of older Indian players who resigned from the test cricket, followed by Ashwin in December and Rohit Sharma last week. Since his debut in 2011, Kohli has led India to the top of the test ranking and recorded 20 hundred as a captain-nine Indian in this role.
Kohli loved the test cricket and the test cricket loved him back. It was a symbiotic relationship. He grew up in an era where Tendulkar was Megastar, and playing a test cricket with honors was the final honorary badge. He had his problems-the foams outside the foot remained and never swept as tendulkar or Rohit Sharma, but Kohli was a player who was aware of his strengths and knew how to maximize them. And he did it with an aplomb.
