Former India player Sunil Gavaskar asked Virat Kohli to remember Sachin’s 241* runs inning played in Sydney. Kohli was out while playing a cover drive after scoring 3 runs on the third day of the Gabba Test.
A similar incident happened with Sachin during the 2003-04 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After which, he scored 241 runs against the Kangaroos in the Sydney Test without playing cover and continuously released the ball outside the off stump.
On the rain-affected third day of the Gabba Test, Australian pacer Hazlewood had Kohli caught by wicketkeeper Carey. India is in trouble until Monday. The team could only score 51 runs after losing 4 wickets.
Virat Kohli was out while playing cover in the third Test.
Need to watch your hero’s sleeves. In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Kohli has so far played innings of 5, 100*, 7, 11 and 3 runs. Gavaskar said he (Kohli) had to see his hero Sachin Tendulkar’s innings in Sydney. Sachin had scored 241 runs in this match by playing 436 balls. Which included 33 fours. Kohli is also going through the same phase as Tendulkar who was continually getting caught in the trap in 2003-04.
Tendulkar batted for over 10 hours. In this test in Sydney, Sachin Tendulkar broke a marathon for more than 10 hours. Gavaskar told Star Sports that Kohli also needs to show patience and control like during Sachin’s innings. Sachin did not play any shot except on the third man from offside. Tendulkar scored all his runs on the leg side.
Gavaskar further said that Kohli was behind the wicket 3 times during this tour. He must play defensively on all balls outside the off stump and use his lower hand to score runs. He has an excellent shot with which he can score points on the other side of the court.
