Xtra Time Web Desk: Legendary Sunil Gavaskar openly criticised Virat Kohli’s shot selection on Day 5 of the ICC World Test Championship Final against Australia. According to Sunny, it was a rank bad shot played by Virat which brought his downfall.
“It was a bad shot, I mean you should ask Virat Kohli, what shot he played because that was shot outside the off-stump. We talk so much about the fact you know when you are going to win a match, you need a long inning, a century plus innings to win, but how will you get to a century plus innings if you play shots so far outside the off-stumps,” Sunil Gavaskar said when asked about the wicket of Virat Kohli.
Gavaskar’s sharp criticism did not go down well with Kohli as he took to Instagram story to share a quote from Lao Tzu. It read, “Silence is the source of great strength.”
Virat and Gavaskar had earlier shared difference of opinions as well.
India lost 7 wickets for 70 runs to get bundled out for 234 runs at lunch, losing the WTC final by 209 runs. A lot was expected from the Virat Kohli as he was not out on 44 runs. But the star batter could only add 5 runs, getting out to Boland off a stupendous catch in the slips by Steve Smith.
Pat Cummins and his boys dominated the game from Day 1 after Travis Head and Steve Smith’s century powered them to 469 runs. They then bundled India out for 296 runs, taking a first-innings lead of 173 runs. India made a comeback in the second innings but Australia managed to post 270 for 8, setting a 444-run target for India. The Rohit Sharma-led side was then bowled out for 234 and suffered another heartbreak in the ICC competition.
