One of the best hitters of the current generation is without a doubt the star Indian batsman Virat Kohli. Through his outstanding efforts for the Indian squad, the 34-year-old has won the hearts of many throughout the years. Virat Kohli has endured some difficult times, but he has always been able to adjust to any circumstance and emerge victorious.
In the ongoing multi-format series against the West Indies, Kohli scored a superb half-century in the opening Test to aid his team in putting up a significant first-inning total. Kohli’s performance, which saw him score 76 runs in 182 deliveries, was crucial to India crushing the West Indies in the first Test and taking the match by an innings and 141 runs.
Speaking on Kohli’s performance, team India’s batting coach Vikram Rathour came forth to give him high acclaim and expressed the opinion that his versatility was one of his best traits. He also emphasized Kohli’s prowess at performing just what is required from the team’s perspective.
“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. Vikram Rathour stated in a video released by the BCCI, “This is his best quality.

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 handled the left-arm spinner in his defense, the speaker continued.
Despite being in excellent form, Virat Kohli fell short of registering his 76th international century.
It is undoubtedly a matter of when rather than if, though, after viewing his performances. Similar thinking was expressed by Rathour, who predicted that Kohli would soon hit a century based on his recent performance.
“Virat’s excellent performance lasted for many years. For seven to eight years, he scored runs steadily. The lean phase was approaching, according to cricket reasoning. It continued on for a while after he lost momentum. Due to his strong hitting, there is not much to observe. He will score a century if he keeps playing like he is,” Rathour said.
