Indian Cricket Team would be pumped up after registering a convincing victory against New Zealand in the Semi-Final. Virat Kohli continued his purple patch as the batter smashed his 50th ODI ton. Virat Kohli looked in complete control of his innings and was keen on rotating the strike.
We should not forget that Shreyas Iyer’s ton at the back end of the inning changed the complexion of the match. It was a collective effort from Indian batters, the skipper Rohit Sharma would be unhappy as he couldn’t convert his start; the batter was looking ominous.
India now would be aiming to end the drought of 10 years and win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. All eyes would be on the 2nd semi-final clash between Australia & South Africa. Both sides are quite competitive but at the same time, the Men in Blue haven’t had an off day which may come in the finals.
Virat Kohli’s role is to play run a ball- Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra was seen speaking on his YouTube channel. Aakash Chopra was mightily impressed with the performance of the star batter Virat Kohli who notched up his 50th ODI ton against a powerful New Zealand attack. Aakash Chopra termed Virat Kohli as the greatest batter of all time.
“Virat Kohli has been given the role, as a senior, to play at a run-a-ball, that he is the spindle around which the entire Indian team will revolve. So he was going at a run-a-ball and Shubman Gill was hitting at the other end,” said Aakash Chopra.
“Virat Kohli scored a century, his 50th century. We say it’s amazing if people play 50 matches. We say you are rocking if you score 50 half-centuries. However, if someone scores 50 centuries in a format, we say he is the greatest of all time. That’s what Virat Kohli is,” he added.
