Team India’s batsman Virat Kohli’s bat could not perform well in the first ODI against Australia. He faced only 8 balls and could not even open the account. Virat returned to international cricket after a long time.
Fans were expecting a big innings from him, but his flop performance left everyone disappointed. Meanwhile, after the match, Team India bowler Arshdeep Singh made an important statement about Virat Kohli.
What did Arshdeep Singh say about Virat Kohli?
Arshdeep believes that Virat will definitely regain his form and play big innings in the upcoming matches. Arshdeep told the press conference that Virat Kohli has played more than 300 matches for India, so form is just a word for him. He knows how to move forward. It is always a blessing to be in the same dressing room with him.
I am sure he will score a lot of runs in the remaining matches of this series. Asked about Virat Kohli’s decision to play only one format, Arshdeep said he has mastered the ODI format. I don’t know what he himself thinks about it, but I will talk to him and maybe I can say something about it in the next press conference.
What did Arshdeep Singh say on Shubman Gill’s captaincy?
The left-arm fast bowler also said that he is not yet familiar with Shubman Gill’s limited-overs captaincy style, but hoped that the young captain would prove to be a bowler’s captain like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Arshdeep said “I have played very few ODIs so far, so it is difficult to tell the difference. But I would say that both Virat and Rohit have been good captains of bowlers.” He further said that “Gill supported all our plans and gave us the freedom to bowl freely. His message was clear to show your ability and enjoy the game.”
