The World Cup is currently being played in India. More than half of the World Cup is over and the Indian team has won 6 out of the 6 matches played so far. India defeated the Australian team in the first match. In the second match, India has defeated Afghanistan, then Bangladesh, then New Zealand and then England and has almost secured its place in the semi-finals. Former captains of the Indian team, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have so far scored the most runs for India in this World Cup.
This is how Virat Kohli is performing so far in the World Cup.
Former Indian team captain Virat Kohli has had a very good performance in the 6 matches played in this World Cup so far. Virat Kohli has played 6 innings in 6 matches and in these 6 innings, Virat Kohli has scored 354 runs at an excellent average of 88.50. During this period, Virat Kohli has scored three half-centuries and one century.
Does Virat Kohli play not for the team but for his century?
In fact, former Indian team captain Virat Kohli seems to be a victim of the agenda at this time. Because some journalists did not like the way Virat Kohli understood the game against Bangladesh and made the team win by hitting a six and completed his century.
Actually, the Indian team needed 26 runs to win against Bangladesh and Virat Kohli also needed 26 runs to complete his century. Virat Kohli scored 26 runs and led the team to victory. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli also prohibited KL Rahul from taking a single. India had easily won that match and meanwhile Virat Kohli completed his century. But perhaps a journalist of a leading newspaper did not like Virat Kohli’s century and he described Virat Kohli as a player playing for his century.
He wrote in his news that Virat Kohli was seen showing more interest in his century while Rohit Sharma was seen hungry to hit big shots even while coming closer to his century. What he meant to say is that Rohit Sharma is playing for the team and Virat Kohli is playing for his century, after which Virat’s fans took him to heart on social media.
He also wrote in his blog that when he was trying to complete his century against New Zealand, he remembered the incident from the previous match in his mind, so he tried to complete his century by hitting a six but he was out.
Now if we talk about that match against Bangladesh, Virat Kohli was batting after scoring 72 runs in the first 76 balls. After that Virat Kohli scored 31 runs in 20 balls and led the team to victory by hitting a six. Now it is beyond comprehension that if Virat Kohli is scoring 31 runs in 20 balls, then where was the tuktuk in this entire innings?
Virat fans took the journalist to task on social media
Virat Kohli’s century means guarantee of India’s victory.
Talking about the former captain of the Indian team, Virat Kohli, till now Virat Kohli has scored 78 centuries in international cricket, out of which 55 centuries have come when the Indian team has won and this is the highest. Only Ricky Ponting is one step ahead of him.
If a player with such a record is called selfish, then it sends a wrong message to the upcoming young players that a player like Virat Kohli bats for himself and not for the team’s victory.
Whenever Virat Kohli scores a century, the Indian team always wins the match. But the way the agenda is being run against Virat Kohli once again in the middle of the World Cup is somehow shameful. Because when Virat Kohli was not scoring a century for 3 years, this very journalist was able to score a century from Virat Kohli. Doesn’t seem like similar articles were being published.
