Sunil Gavaskar ne apni rai di hai Virat Kohli ke latest dismissal par, jo ki 7th stump ke bahar tha.

Sunil Gavaskar, jo ki India ke cricket ke legends mein se ek hain, ne Virat Kohli ke latest dismissal par apni baat bilkul seedha aur spasht tarike se rakhi. Jab Virat Kohli sirf 3 runs bana kar third Test ke pehle innings mein out hue, Gavaskar ne unki shot selection par zordaar criticism kiya. Kohli ne Josh Hazlewood ki ek wide delivery ko edge karke wicket-keeper Alex Carey ko catch dene diya, jabki woh ball stumps se kaafi door thi. Gavaskar ne seedha bola ki Kohli ko aise wide ball ko khelne ki zarurat nahi thi. Unhone us ball ko 7th ya 8th stump line par mana.

Gavaskar ne kaha, “Agar ball fourth stump par hoti, toh samajh aata. Lekin yeh ball seventh ya eighth stump par thi. Isko khelne ki koi zarurat nahi thi.”

Gavaskar ne yeh bhi kaha ki Kohli apne is tarike se out hone par bahut naraaz honge. Aur, jab Australia ne 445 runs bana diye the, toh unka innings India ke liye kaafi zaroori tha. Gavaskar ne yeh bhi kaha ki Kohli ko thoda patience dikhana chahiye tha, khaas kar Gabba jaise tricky surface par. “Agar Kohli thoda patience dikhate, toh woh KL Rahul ke saath not out ho sakte the,” Gavaskar ne kaha.

Kohli ko off-stump ke bahar deliveries par kaafi struggle hota hai, khaas kar Australia mein. Unka natural instinct hota hai cover drive khelna, jo kabhi-kabhi unke liye problem ban jaata hai. Unhone nets mein is par kaafi practice ki hai, lekin matches mein apne natural instincts ko control karna unke liye mushkil hota hai. Kai experts ne unhe advice di hai ki woh Sachin Tendulkar se seekhein, khaas kar Australian pitches pe, jahan ball zyada bounce karti hai.
