This former veteran cricketer praised Virat Kohli fiercely, said- he does not want power or leadership

 

Virat Kohli is counted among the best batsmen in the world, this can be estimated by looking at his statistics. Apart from this, he has also performed well as a captain. However, under his captaincy he has not been able to win any ICC title for India. Now there will be a lot of expectations from run machine Kohli in the World Cup 2023. Regarding Kohli, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has now said that he does not want power or leadership within the team. 

Manjrekar said, "One similarity between Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar is that both love to play cricket. They want to be on the field. He was not a part of the team in the match against Bangladesh but was still on the field. I don't think Virat Kohli wants power or leadership. He just wants to play and seems like he enjoys being a part of the team. He captained the team for a long time, so there is no scope for unfulfilled dreams. Being with the team, traveling with the players, going on the field and being a part of the winning moments is more important for them than strength."

Talking about Virat's ODI career, he has played 280 matches and scored 13027 runs at an excellent average of 57.39. During this period, 47 centuries and 65 half-centuries have been seen from his bat. His highest score in ODI is 183 runs. Talking about the Indian team, it will play a 3-match ODI series against Australia before the World Cup 2023, which is starting from 22nd September. Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav have been rested for the first two matches.
