‘Every batman needs that. Don’t forget he got 2 fifties in SA’: Gavaskar dissects what’s ailing Kohli in WI ODI series

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar had a word on questions about what went wrong with Virat Kohli in the ongoing ODI series against West Indies, He then reminded that he scored two half-century knocks in the South African series last month.

Kohli has not scored an ODI century since August 14, 2019, 18 consecutive games in the series against the West Indies home side. But the 33-year-old has a healthy 42.50 scoring average, scoring 765 times in 10 and a half centuries. Two of those were in last month’s series against South Africa, where he scored 51 and 65 in Game 1 and Game 3, respectively.

With more than 2,000 goals scored against West Indies, it remains Kohli’s favourite opponent. In fact, his last two centuries in the ODI came against the West Indies in consecutive innings in 2019.

However, he has only scored 8 and 18 in his first two games so far, dismissed by a short ball and trailed by another. After dissecting the two dismissals, Gavasca thinks Kohli’s luck has not been good over the past few games.

“Luck. Every batsman needs a little bit of luck. Every batsman needs a specific situation where he can hit and miss. Every batsman needs a special situation where he hits the ball out Edged and the catch was dropped or the ball fell short in front of the fielder. He has not had much luck in the last few games in the past so many games. But don’t forget, three games later his series in South Africa There were two back-to-back fifties. So he’s not out of form, he’s not having the best of luck now,” he told Star Sports after India won his second ODI in Ahmedabad.

The third ODI will be held at the same venue on Friday, with India eyeing a series of whitewashes against West Indies, who won the opener by six wickets.
