Delhi: The Indian cricket team has recently faced two big defeats within three months. First New Zealand came to India and won 3-0 and then Australia defeated India 3-1 and snatched the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After these defeats, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were criticized the most. Many people advised him to take retirement. Although Rohit’s retirement is in discussion, it would be too early to say the same in Virat’s case.
Talk of saving Kohli
Captain Michael Clarke, who won the World Cup for Australia, gave a statement in support of Virat Kohli. He said, “If he had been the captain of the Indian team, he would have fought with the team management to save Kohli. Virat could not score runs as expected in the last matches, but his ability cannot be questioned. He is Virat Kohli, and he can also score a double century in the next match.”
Virat should keep playing
Michael Clarke further said, “Virat should play continuously as long as his best game is to continue. He believed that if Virat retires from Test cricket, it will only harm the Indian team. Virat scored 190 runs in five matches on the Australia tour, but according to Clarke, there is still a lot of potential in Virat’s game.

Michael Clarke said “What, No Way. This guy Virat Kohli is a once in a Generation player. I am keeping Virat Kohli in my team as long as possible I can. I would be begging him to stay in the team”. pic.twitter.com/rxn7QSKMtQ
