Virat Kohli

He has been struggling to get big scores in Test cricket in the recent past as the star batter has not gone past 50 in the longest format in his last 15 innings. In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli has managed just 111 runs across 5 innings. There seems to be nothing majorly wrong with the technical point of view.

While speaking on RCB Podcast Season 2, the third of 10 episodes, Karthik described Kohli as an emotional, caring and reactive person who has achieved so much on and off the field makes him a champion in all walks of life. "What he has achieved as a person he has carried the team for the last 10 years. His consistency and mastery over the game I don't think anybody has achieved it in the world of cricket for a very, very long time," said Karthik.

"Pujji Bhai (Cheteshwar Pujara), he plays with a deep focus in Cheteshwar Pujara)t... Virat bhai does not give rest to the fast bowler. He gets ready immediately after hitting the shot, I don't even get time to settle," Siraj said on SG Cricket YouTube channel when asked which batsman he enjoys bowling in the nets. "After hitting the shot, the batsman looks here and there.

Kohli is India's most successful Test captain, leading the side to 40 victories, including holding on to the top-ranked spot in the rankings for 42 months. Apart from winning 65 ODIs and 30 T20Is as captain, what has been absent from Kohli's achievement as an Indian skipper has been a global trophy. Under his leadership, India became runners-up.

Dhoni's gesture and concern towards Kohli's well-being is an indicator of the bond the two players shared during their time as members of the national cricket team. So, what makes the relationship tick, on and off the field? Kohli has shared some insights into the working points of his kinship with Dhoni while speaking on the RCB Podcast Season 2, the first of the 10 episodes.

Speaking at the launch of the project, Kohli said, "Six years ago, the Forca Goa Foundation started working in grassroots football in India. The Foundation started a revolution by investing in pitches across the state of Goa, to keep the dreams of young kids alive. Infrastructure and access is one of the key pillars for any sport to develop and for a nation to be world-class in that sport."

In the second session of Day Two's play, Kohli was trapped lbw by debutant left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann on the third ball of the 50th over. When Kohli took a review, the UltraEdge showed there was a huge spike when the ball was between bat and pad. After seeing multiple replays to and fro, TV umpire Richard Illingworth concluded that the ball.

Babar's tweet, which he posted in July last year, came in the middle of an extended lean patch for Kohli. Just a day before, Kohli had fallen for 16 runs in an ODI against England during a 100-run loss for his side. At that stage, Kohli also hadn't scored an international hundred since his 136 against Bangladesh in November 2019.

On Sunday, at the Newlands Cricket Ground, Jemimah blasted a brilliant 53 not out off 38 deliveries to steer her side to a memorable seven-wicket win and get their tournament start on a bright note. Jemimah's superlative efforts, including three fours off Fatima Sana in the 19th over, saw her emulate Kohli's similarly decisive innings against the same opponent in the men's T20 World Cup.

With a view of encouraging a healthier lifestyle, Kohli himself will flag off the first edition of the run, which is being operated by star cricketer's 'one8' brand. This run in Bengaluru gives amateur runners and seasoned athletes the opportunity to be part of a larger community.
