BGT 2024-25: Kohli Took His Time And Played The Bowlers At His Pace, Says Shastri
At Perth Stadium: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri lauded Virat Kohli for taking his time and playing the Australia bowlers at his pace to hit an unbeaten century, which was one of the main pillars in the visitors’ getting a 295-run win in Perth.
At Perth Stadium, Kohli feasted on a tired Australian bowling line-up to bring up his seventh Test hundred on Australian soil and draw level with Walter Hammond in a list of most centuries among touring players in the longer format led by Jack Hobbs’ nine centuries.
Kohli’s unbeaten century off 143 balls, his 30th ton in Tests, came after 18 months, and was laced with eight fours and two sixes. “He came out not like a cat on a hot tin roof. That impressed me the most. Otherwise, a batsman gets out, even before the guy walks 10 yards from the stumps, Virat is halfway down into the ground. Take your time. You are one of the best the world has seen.”
