Kapil Dev, former captain of the Indian cricket team, supported Virat Kohli to influence the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, saying he can eventually score 2-3 centuries against Australia. Kohli missed scoring heavily in the first innings of the Nagpur Test after giving his wicket cheaply to debutant Todd Murphy. However, Kapil said that a player like Kohli is able to adapt his style of play to the circumstances and that could prove to be crucial for both his game and his form.
“I think he will impress because he still has a lot of hunger in him, which we can all see. The first match is very important. When he makes runs, his style of play changes. When there is a bigger player the first test match always important. If he even makes 50, then I can predict that he will make 2-3 centuries in this series because both teams get two chances. We have to take that into account,” Kapil said on YouTube channel ‘Uncut’.
The former India captain also took part in the discussion surrounding Nagpur’s pitch saying that as the pitch can end assisting spinners to a large extent, a score of around 350-400 could prove to be the winning total for both sides. are.
“We hear that pitches will be turned over, it can’t be that the team makes 600. If they make it, they all hail the batters. The pitches are in the hands of the batters. Today, 60 percent of the pitches are are on the bowlers side so with that in mind we can’t say 400 runs will be made it will be made between 220 and 250 300 is very big and if they do there will be a sense of Don’t lose. If throws are a bit good then Virat Kohli will definitely make runs,” added Kapil, India’s first ever World Cup winning captain.
