Virat Kohli 1st ODI vs England ke liye nahi chune gaye. Rohit Sharma bole: “Kal raat…”
Virat Kohli ko Thursday ko hone wale pehle India vs England ODI ke liye team mein shamil nahi kiya gaya hai. Ye ODI un teen matches me se ek hai jo India Champions Trophy 2025 ke pehle khelega, jo 19 February se shuru ho rahi hai. Kohli ka iss match se bahar rehna Rohit Sharma ki team ke liye ek bada jhatka hai. Pehle se hi team Jasprit Bumrah ki chot se jujh rahi hai, jinki uplabdhata sawal ke ghere mein hai. Kuldeep Yadav aur Mohammed Shami bhi lambe injury break ke baad wapas aaye hain. India ke captain Rohit Sharma ne toss ke waqt kaha: “Jaiswal aur Harshit apna debut kar rahe hain, durbhagyavash Virat nahi khel rahe, kal raat unke ghutne me dikkat ho gayi thi.” Dikhne wali tasveerein bhi chinta badhane wali thi.
Videos me Kohli ko bhari patty bandhe hue dheere chalne ka dikhaya gaya. Chot kitni gambhir hai ye abhi tak nahi pata, lekin Gautam Gambhir ki agwai wali Indian team management koi risk nahi lena chahti. 36-year-old Kohli, who was highly needed for this match by fans, as he has no issues in ODIs despite the troubles he faces in Test cricket. Since 2023 till date, he has scored 1,435 runs in 30 ODIs with an average of 65.22, which includes 6 centuries and 8 fifties. His best score is 166* and strike rate is 98.42. Kohli banaye sabse zyada runs 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup ke dauraan, sirf tournament me, balki all-time list bhi top par rahe the.
Unhone 11 matches me 765 run banaye 95.62 ki average se, jisme 3 centuries aur 6 fifties shamil thi, aur ‘Player of the Tournament’ ka khitab jeete.
Pichle saal Sri Lanka ke khilaf ODIs me unka performance thoda kamzor raha, jisme unhone sirf 58 run banaye 3 innings me, aur best score 24 raha. India ke captain Rohit Sharma ne toss jeetne par bataya ki agar unki team toss jeetti to pehle bowling karti. “Hum pehle bowling karna pasand karte, lekin toss chahe jo bhi ho, hume apni planning ko sahi tareeke se lagu karna hai. Ab jab hum pehle bowling kar rahe hain, to hum aggressive shuruaat karke match ka tone set karna chahenge. Break ke baad wapas aana accha lag raha hai, ab sochne aur focus karne ka waqt hai.
