Sourav Ganguly believes that Virat Kohli could have scored runs in the England Test series if he had not retired. Seeing Kohli’s fitness and experience, Ganguly is surprised by his decision.

Delhi: Former Indian captain and BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has said that if Virat Kohli had been playing in the ongoing Test series against England, he would have scored runs. Kohli recently announced his retirement from Test cricket, which surprised Ganguly. He said that he hoped that Kohli would continue to play for some time looking at his fitness and age.

Ganguly’s statement

Ganguly said, “All these things such as playing on my terms or on the terms of anyone else, do not matter. A player himself knows where he is standing. Look at Virat.

Kohli’s test career

Virat Kohli represented India in 123 Tests and scored 9230 runs. His average was 46.85 and scored 30 centuries and 31 half -centuries. He is counted among the most successful Test batsmen in India.

Kohli’s performance in England

Kohli has scored 1096 runs in a total of 33 innings in England so far. Their average has been 33.21, including 2 centuries and 5 half -centuries. Kohli performed brilliantly in the 2018 Test series. He scored 593 runs in 10 innings in that series. His average was 59.30 and he was also elected ‘Player of the Series’.

Fantastic in 2018 but team defeat

Although Kohli performed amazing in the 2018 series, India lost 4–1 series. After this, in 2021, he scored 249 runs in 9 innings in England. At that time India took a 2–1 lead under Kohli’s captaincy, but in the final and redeemed Test, India’s captaincy was near Jasprit Bumrah and the team had to face defeat.
