"Not Acceptable": Virat Kohli's Childhood Coach Gives Honest Assessment Of India Stalwart's Batting
NDTV
Virat Kohli didn't look in the best of form against Bangladesh, scoring just 45 runs in 2 Test matches.
The Indian cricket team emerged triumphant 2-0 in the Test series against Bangladesh but the scoreline doesn't give a true reflection of how the series turned out. In the second Test, the team had to rely on runs from Ravichandran Ashwin to secure victory as the top-order batters, including stand-in skipper KL Rahul and Virat Kohli continued to struggle. Kohli's performance was such that even his childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma didn't budge from criticising him. He even said that the manner in which Virat is getting out is 'not acceptable'.
In a chat on India News Sports, Rajkumar Sharma said that it is 'unfortunate' to see a batter of the class of Virat Kohli struggling against spinners from Bangladesh.
"A batter is quite disappointed after he gets out, and Virat Kohli is very aggressive by nature," he said on India News Sports. "But the way he has been getting out is not acceptable. It's unfortunate to see a batter of his stature struggle against Bangladeshi spinners. He should have shown more intent.
