Following India’s victory over West Indies in the first Test of the two-match series, star batsman Virat Kohli eclipsed MS Dhoni in the list of most victories for India as an individual. As his most recent victory came against Sri Lanka in the 2019 ODI World Cup, the former World Cup-winning captain is notable for having 295 victories to his credit. In the meantime, Virat overtook him on July 14 and is now edging closer to Sachin Tendulkar, who has 307 victories for the national team.
Virat Kohli scored 76 runs in the first Test against the West Indies, which was notable, despite the fact that it appeared tough for hitters to settle on the ground.
The 34-year-old was fortunate on numerous occasions, but he eventually managed to score some significant runs as the visiting team prevailed by an innings and 141 runs. Following the departure of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, Virat formed a potent partnership with debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal that was ultimately sufficient for the team to win the match.
Virat, however, has come under heavy fire for his century draught in the game’s longest format. Although the cricketer is consistently making runs, he has sadly been unable to turn his beginnings into a three-digit score. He is an aggressive batter, according to India’s batting coach Vikram Rathour, who also praised him for being able to adapt to any circumstance or circumstance.
“In my experience as a batting instructor, cricket is all about flexibility.
He is a domineering, aggressive player, yet the best players can switch up their strategies. A better player is one who can adapt to the needs of the team and the environment. His most notable quality is this. He can perform several forms in a variety of ways. Depending on the circumstances, he can alter his strategy. On a pitch that was turning a much, he demonstrated it. Many young people may learn from the way he responded to the left-arm spinner, Rathour remarked in a video released by the BCCI.
India made an impressive start to their current World Test Championship cycle, and they’ll be hoping to keep it up as they push to reach another championship final and finally bring home the prize.
