Josh Hazelwood, Australian Pacer, praises Virat Kohli for his intent, displayed on the field. Australian Fast bowler, who is also a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) squad lauded his teammate, Virat Kohli, and the skills that make him a successful Batter.
RCB bought Hazelwood for a whooping Rs.7.75 crore in the 2022 IPL Mega Auction, since then he has been a part of the RCB squad. Due to his Achilles injury, he was unable to make a significant contribution this IPL, only played 3 matches out of 14. Josh Hazlewood also missed the famous Border-Gavaskar trophy 2023 in which India won by 2-1, due to his injury.
Virat Kohli is always out there training first- Josh Hazlewood
In anticipation of the World Test Championship, Australian Seamer Josh Hazlewood lauded and was having an interaction with PTI. Josh Hazlewood revealed how much the sport means to the star batter Virat Kohli.
“I think it’s probably how hard he works (that stands out). His fitness first of all- and then his skill work and batting and fielding in particular,” said Josh Hazlewood.
“He is always out there (training) first and leaves last… and the intensity he trains at all times is at such a high level it drags everyone else along for the ride. That can leak onto the other players and improve them as well.” he said.
Great Chance for India
Virat Kohli accumulated a phenomenal total run score of 639 in IPL 2023, followed by his two centuries, one against Sunrisers Hyderabad in which he made 100 runs out of only 63 balls and the other against Gujarat Titans smashing 101 runs in a mere 61 balls. His current excellent form will be a valuable asset to India’s Cricket team going in the World Test Championship finals against the mighty Australia.
Undoubtedly, Mohammed Sirajis going to be an important asset to the Indian team. Despite RCB missing out on playoff qualification. Siraj’s performance has been exceptional and proved his great intent, by grasping 19 wickets in just 14 matches, emerging as one of the most important player in Bangalore’s bowling unit. Siraj’s phenomenal bowling has most likely confirmed his place in the Indian Team, and he is expected to make a significant impact in the marquee tournament clash against Australia.
