Virat Kohli was scolded by Sunil Gavaskar for being dismissed during the Gabba Test’s opening innings.
The story is the same, but the match is different. Virat Kohli’s long-standing issue of fishing outside the off stump has persisted, as the batsman was dismissed cheaply once more. At Gabba, Brisbane, during the opening innings of the third Test match against Australia, Kohli chased a wide delivery off Josh Hazlewood’s bowling and ultimately gave wicketkeeper Alex Carey a straightforward catch.
The Indian batsman, who has only scored three Test hundreds in the past four years, was harshly criticized by former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, who claimed that Kohli didn’t need to make the shot because the ball was on the “seventh, eighth stump.”
Hazlewood’s pitch landed properly, but it was a bit longer than the appropriate length. While trying to play a drive, Kohli ended up chasing the ball far from his body when it was well outside off, when he could have let it alone.
Carey then pounced on a straightforward outside edge, and the outcome was as anticipated.
“If it was on the fourth stump, I could understand,” Gavaskar stated on Channel 7.
You could claim that this was wide, on the seventh or eighth stump. “That doesn’t need to be played,” he continued.
“Kohli had to be patient.”
Additionally, Sunil Gavaskar said that since India had already lost Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal to bad shots, Kohli needed to exercise patient.
