Virat Kohli is playing the best cricket of his career!!
After starting the BGT campaign with an impressive century in Perth, Kohli managed just 21 runs in the next three innings. However, Kohli’s coach is confident that he will shine in the upcoming Boxing Day Test at the MCG and the New Year’s Test in Sydney against Australia.
The coach added: “Virat Kohli is playing the best cricket of his career. He also scored a century against Australia in the first Test. I think two more centuries will come off his bat in the next two matches. He is a player who has always enjoyed his game. When a player enjoys his game, he gives his best. Virat’s form is nothing to worry about. “This player knows how to hit in difficult situations and make the team win.”
