Dravid provides update on Virat Kohli’s injury ahead of Cape Town Test

Virat Kohli was excluded from the second test due to back spasms, as India admitted to losing 7 wickets in Johannesburg. The team led by KL Rahul played a great game, but did not perform well in the last two days of the game. The Indian team lost the game because the series is now 1-1.

The head coach of the Indian team Rahul Dravid gave a speech at a virtual press conference after the game and provided the latest information on the health of Verat Kohli. Dravid said he is hopeful that Corley will participate in the third and final test of the series, which is scheduled to be held in Cape Town from January 11th to 15th.

“From every point of view, Virat Kohli should be okay, he should be okay. He has the opportunity to run around and have the opportunity to test. I hope to have a few net training in Cape Town, he should Nice to go. All I heard was just chatting with him, he should be very happy in four days,” Dravid said at the virtual press conference. When asked about his views on India’s batting performance in India so far, Dravid said: “This is a challenge for both teams. South Africa’s fourth game may be their best. Good batsman. Yes, as a batting unit, we can seize some key moments, and when we build partnerships, we can make them longer. The first game was challenging, but we could have Run 55-60 more times, which can make a huge difference.”

“Of course, we want to hit the ball better. Maybe the starting players can turn them into 100 points. This is the difference in the first game. We have Rahul scoring for the century and we finally won. Dean Elgar Scored 96 points in this test, South Africa finally won,” he 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.”
