‘Sachin had more shots that Virat’: Ex-India batter compares Tendulkar and Kohli

Given that Virat Kohli’s skills in cutting outside the stump led to his repeated dismissal, many people believe that the Indian captain should try to emulate Sachin Tendulkar’s epic 241 shot in the 2004 Sydney game against Australia. And Kohli Similarly, Tendulkar also found himself trying to shoot from the outside. What did he do? The great Tendulkar didn’t hit a cover drive and was on the way to one of the most disciplined rounds of all time.

Weighing Kohli’s dismissal, former opening batsman Aakash Chopra was part of the famous SCG test. He believed that although he did not want Kohli to accept Tendulkar’s approach, the Indian captain could show more patience to restore his form. “Coli can show more patience. I remember the New Year’s Test in Sydney in 2004, when Sachin Tendulkar drove out and he didn’t even hit a car. I didn’t mean to go that way. , Because Sachin has more shooting opportunities compared to Verat, that’s the secret,” Chopra said at the Byju Cricket Live Show at Star Sports on the first day of the Johannesburg test between India and South Africa on Monday. . However, since Corley did not participate in the second test for back spasms, his new year’s cricket match will begin on January 11, which is the third test in Cape Town. It hasn’t been a century for two full years, and Kohli’s goal is to have a good start in Newlands in 2022. Chopra believes that the Indian captain does not have too many weaknesses, and believes that a little more application will see the Indian captain return to his cheerful state.

“I don’t think Kohli has a big problem with playing bodyguards. It’s just knowing where your stump is. A little more trust in the bounce so you can leave the ball more. It doesn’t have to be online. You don’t even need to misread this article. Line; you will not be knocked down because the ball will go over the stump,” Chopra added.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
