India vs England: Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 77 a lesson for any young batsman, says VVS Laxman

Former India batsman VVS Laxman lauded India skipper Virat Kohli for his unbeaten 77-run knock against England in the 3rd T20I and said that the innings can be a great learning for any young batsman.

Former India batsman VVS Laxman was in awe of the innings that India skipper Virat Kohli played against England in the 3rd T20I on Tuesday and said that the unbeaten 77-run knock was a great learning for any young batsman on how to pace an innings. Kohli walked into bat with the side reeling at 20 for two. Initially, he took his time as wickets continued to fall at the other end. But once he got settled, he took charge and played some magnificent shots to put the hosts back on track. "At one point it felt if India can score even 140 or not because so many wickets had fallen. But once again Virat Kohli deserves all the praise. The chase master showed his magic in the last match (Sunday) but today (Tuesday) the way he first absorbed the pressure and then built the innings, it was amazing batting and a learning for any young batsman on how you show your magic under pressure and the way to pace your innings," Laxman said on Star Sports Network.
