Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu praised Team India's star batsman Virat Kohli. He said that this batsman can score 10 to 15 centuries in his career.
In fact, in the crucial match of the Champions Trophy on Sunday, Virat Kohli scored a century against Pakistan. Virat Kohli, who came to bat after a wicket fell in India's powerplay, played a key role in Team India's victory by scoring an unbeaten 100 off 111 balls. He also scored his 51st ODI century. He has surpassed Sachin Tendulkar, who has 50 centuries in ODIs.
Navjot Singh Sidhu said, "The character is not created in crisis but is displayed. This is a man (Virat Kohli) who is full of passion and passion and after this century, I can say with full confidence that this guy will play for the next 2 or 3 years and he will score 10 or 15 centuries more. You can believe me, because, you see, the biggest test for anyone is how he goes through tough times and how he embraces difficulties."
"So much has happened in the last six months that he chose his moment. When he scored against Pakistan, people won't forget it for 10 years. "
The 36-year-old Kohli made his debut for India against Sri Lanka in 2008. He has crossed the 14,000-run mark with a century against Pakistan. He has become the third batsman to do so after Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara.
Kohli had to travel to the 298th ODI match to achieve this feat. He has scored 73 half-centuries and more than 50 centuries in ODIs so far.
"He was hungry for runs. Today's innings was such that we can definitely say that he will easily set new records in international cricket in the next 3-4 years. "
Virat Kohli is the fastest male batsman to reach 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 11,000, 12,000, 13,000 and 14,000 runs in an ODI match. He has scored 14,000 ODI runs in 63 fewer innings than Tendulkar.
"These are the people who have inspired the children. You need role models who are above everything. Virat Kohli is a once-in-a-generation cricketer, who is a 'Kohinoor'. You must understand what importance he holds in international cricket. He doesn't let pressure get the better of him and the harder it gets, the better he performs in that situation. That's the mark of a great cricketer. "
