Meanwhile, with less than 24 hours left for the game to start, there is still no confirmation about the availability and status of Rohit Sharma, who has been in isolation since testing covid-19 positive last Saturday. He tested positive again on Wednesday; he needs to return a negative test on Thursday to be declared available for the Test match starting on Friday.
Rahul Dravid not worried about Kohli’s century drought
Head coach Rahul Dravid was inquired about whether he’s concerned regaridng Kohli’s century drought, the period extending to over 31 months now with his last century – in any format – came in November 2019.
Dravid, stated that Kohli will always be judged by the high standards he had set during his prime and that his half-centuries can also be crucial if they win the game. The 49-year-old head coach reckoned that although Kohli hasn’t score a three-figure score for a long while, he has played some really good knocks, including the one in Cape Town earlier this year.
“As a player, you go through these kinds of phases. I don’t think in Virat’s case, it is lack of motivation or desire. It’s not about scoring three figures, even a 70 on a difficult pitch is worth appreciation. In Cape Town, he didn’t convert it into a century, but it was a good score,” Rahul Dravid said on Wednesday.
“Going by the standards he has set for himself, people only see hundreds as a success. But from a coach’s perspective, we want contributions from him, whether it’s a 50 or a 60,” Dravid added
