Former South Africa cricketer AB de Villiers reacted to the video by commenting, “Machine.”
Previously, Virat Kohli had shared one of Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu’s quotes on Instagram Stories. “Silence is a source of great strength," read the post. In his last international outing, Kohli could not play a memorable knock. In the first innings of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia, Kohli managed to score 14 runs. In the second innings, Kohli looked in fine form but he fell short of a half-century by one run. Kohli’s questionable shot selection in the second innings also triggered a huge debate. Playing a delivery wide outside the off-stump, Kohli pulled off a drive but he ended up producing a thick edge which carried to Steve Smith standing at slip.
Sunil Gavaskar on Virat Kohli
Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar seemed quite disappointed with Virat Kohli’s choice of shot. “It was a bad shot. It was an ordinary shot. You're asking me about it, I think you should ask Kohli. What was that shot? That was a shot outside the off-stump. We talked so much about the fact that to win a match, you need long innings. You need century-plus innings. How are you going to play a century-plus inning if you're going to play a shot so far outside the off-stump,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
