‘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.
