Fans of the Indian skipper Virat Kohli have been waiting anxiously to see a century from the Indian skipper. His last hundred came in the Day/Night Test against Bangladesh at Eden Gardens in Kotla. Ever since then, he has played 51 international innings across all formats and hasn’t been able to score a ton.
He has been struggling with his form and his performances haven’t been up to the mark. But the skipper managed to score a half-century in the 2nd innings of the 3rd Test against India at Headingley before he was dismissed by Ollie Robinson for 55.
Impressed with his batting on Day 3 and Day 4 of the 3rd Test former Australian spinner Brad Hogg feels that Kohli isn’t far from getting a century soon. In his latest video on YouTube, Bradd Hogg made a big prediction about Virat Kohli scoring his next ton. He said:
“I am predicting that Virat Kohli will score a hundred somewhere along the line. I just think he has realized what difference was there in his technique two years ago from what it is now. I just saw in the final innings that there were slight adjustments in the way he set up. When Virat Kohli gets in right, he doesn’t take time to turn it around. So for me, watch out for a big score from Virat Kohli.”
Further, Hogg went on to defend Virat Kohli’s captaincy despite the humiliating defeat in the 2nd Test by an innings and 76 runs. He said:
“I think Virat Kohli is a very good skipper. I think he is a skipper that Australia and England fear. He just imposes himself on the opposition. We have had just one loss here so this is where you start asking questions.”
“What sets good leaders apart from mediocre leaders is the way that they come back from adversity. But I know England fear Virat Kohli by the way he imposes himself in the middle,” Hogg signed off.
