Greg Chappell On Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli scored a century in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, but after that he is continuously struggling with poor form. Now former Australian legend Greg Chappell told where Virat Kohli is going wrong? Greg Chappell believes that the youthful fearlessness has disappeared in the batting of Virat Kohli and Steve Smith. Batting is suffering the consequences of this. He said that fearlessness has been replaced by fear in the batting of these two players.
‘Batsmen like Virat Kohli and Steve Smith score 20-30 runs…’
Greg Chappell said that now until batsmen like Virat Kohli and Steve Smith cross the figure of 20-30 runs, he is not able to bat in his style. He said that before this, batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting had been struggling with this problem. However, if Virat Kohli touches the figure of 20-30 runs in the beginning of his batting, then he can bat in his own style. Apart from this, the former Australian legend said that if you play out of fear then it will affect your performance.
‘Virat Kohli, Joe Root and Steve Smith are among today’s great batsmen…’
Greg Chappell says that if I look at today’s great batsmen like Virat Kohli, Joe Root and Steve Smith, I see the same problem in all the batsmen. These batsmen are struggling with the same problem. This battle is between your confidence and fear. Apart from this, you will have to learn to adapt to the environment. He further said that if you are scoring a lot of runs, it does not mean that you are a great batsman, you will have to change with time.
