Virat Kohli’s ‘Time Has Gone’: Gautam Gambhir Sends ‘Building for the Future’ Message After Australia Fiasco

The two cricketers most talked about after India’s 3-1 thrashing of Australia Down Under were Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli. Both did not have a good series with India captain Rohit being ruled out of the final Test in Sydney. Kohli scored a ton but his other scores were 5, 7, 11, 3, 36, 5, 17 and 6. There are big questions as to whether the duo will continue for India’s next Test series in England in June. In the midst of this, Team India coach Gautam Gambhir a clear message has been sent regarding Virat Kohli and his chances in England.

“Virat Kohli will realize that his best is behind him and it will hurt. When India comes to England, you know exactly where he will be. Just outside the stump and the area of ​​business will be misses. At 36, in his mind he knows what he should do,” said David Lloyd, a former England cricketer. talkSports Cricket.

“Your reflexes are gradually disappearing. Ponting said he played a little longer than he should have. Breeders in India should know. He’s one of the greatest players we’ve seen, but he’s past his best. Do they have a better player? they want to build a future with the best player at number 4. The coach (Gautam Gambhir) will have a huge say, a big say because he has been in that dressing room. His time is up. “

With full respect to Kohli’s credentials, Lloyd said the star batter’s time is over.

“When you talk about great cricketers, the one thing the rest don’t have is time. He lost time. It’s gone. His time has passed. It comes with age. Everyone tells you what you need to do. Things like “keep the ball,” watch to the end. But he’s not there. These are great international players. If this is a repeated way of going out, there will be a lot of misses in a Test match.” Keep getting distracted, that’s a sure sign for anyone that reflexes and reaction time are lost,” he said.
