The Indian cricket team is all set to lock horns with Pakistan in a much-awaited high-voltage clash at the end of this week as both teams begin their campaign at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Rohit Sharma and Co. will be looking forward to lifting the prestigious trophy of T20 World Cup 2022 for the second time, after having won the title back in 2007 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. While the Indian side is preparing for the upcoming blockbuster clash against the arch-rivals Pakistan, former Team India opener Gautam Gambhir has a special piece of advice for former captain Virat Kohli.

Well, ahead of India vs Australia T20 World Cup warm-up match, Star Sports displayed the stats of Virat Kohli in Australia. The presenter of the show asked Gautam Gambhir to share his thoughts on how Virat should approach the upcoming tournament.

Responding to the question, Gambhir said that Kohli should forget about scoring 50s and 100s and rather focus on getting impactful runs for India. He said:

‘Run banane ke mindset se. Aur iske ilawa aur koi bhi mindset ki zarurat hi nehin hai kissi bhi ballebaaz ko. Kyunki aur kya mindset ho sakta hai’ Ek ballebaaz ka kaam hai run banana. Gendbaaz ka kaam hai wicket lena. Aur run woh banana jisse aapki team jeetein. Run woh nehi banana jisse aapka bas records main jaye, yaa 50 ya 100 banaye. Aap 40 ya 30 banaye, but uss impact se banaye ki aapki team 170/180 tak pohoch paaye. Agar aap chase kar rahe hai toh uss tarike se run banaye taaki jo lower middle order hain usse aap pressure hataye’.

He added: ‘Mujhe vishwas hai ki jab aap aise baare tournaments main jaatein ho na toh individual records ko ghar rakh ke jana chaiye. Agar aap Australia jaa rahein ho toh India pack karke jana chahiye kyunki individual records ka iss tournament me koi value nehi hai. World Cup jeetne ki value hai. Agar team jeetti hai toh woh aapki legacy hai. Aap 500 run banaye and qualify na karein toh woh sirf aapke record main aata hai, baaki criticism jab puri team ko milti hain toh aapko bhi milta hai.’

Notably, Virat Kohli who was going through a lean patch in his career and was struggling to score runs for last three years, made a solid comeback during the Asia Cup 2022 and hasn’t looked back since then. He will emerged out as one of the  X-Factors for Team India during the T20 World Cup. Currently, the former skipper is the third-highest run-getter for Team India in the current season, having amassed 485 runs in 14 T20I games so far.
