Delhi: The year 2024 was not very good for the Indian cricket team’s legendary batsman Virat Kohli, especially in Test cricket. However, he impressed everyone with his game in ODI cricket. This year the ICC Champions Trophy is also coming near, and all eyes are on Kohli’s performance. Meanwhile, questions are being raised whether his performance in ODI cricket will be as poor as in Tests.
Shane Watson’s statement
Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has given his opinion on this. He said that big players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will openly showcase their experience and game in the ODI format.
Watson said in an interview, “I don’t think the effect of poor form in Test cricket will be visible in ODIs. Virat and Rohit will play in the conditions of Dubai, which will be different. In ODI cricket, both these players play their natural game without any pressure.”
‘Virat Master of ODI Cricket’
Praising Virat Kohli, he said, “Virat is the master of ODI cricket. His statistics only show his ability. An average of around 57 and strike rate of 93 shows how good a batsman he is. He leads his innings with great style.”
Virat Kohli’s ODI career
Virat Kohli has played 295 matches so far in ODI cricket, in which he has scored 13,906 runs at an average of 58.18. He has 50 centuries and 72 half-centuries in his name. His highest score is 183 runs.
Kohli’s performance in the ICC Champions Trophy, also known as the “Mini World Cup”, has been excellent. He has scored 529 runs in 13 matches of this tournament. In such a situation, it is expected that this time also he will please the fans with his game.
