You can’t take your eyes off Virat Kohli: T Dilip
Team India fielding coach T Dilip was all praise for Virat Kohli’s fielding effort during the Afghanistan series. He expressed that Virat Kohli gives in his best on the field, and inspires everyone to do well. He added that the youngsters should try and replicate the veteran cricketer on the field. T Dilip said,
“This guy has shown once again, time and again and again, split-second decision-making, whether to go for it or not. The way he keeps coming at you, saving those runs, putting those drives, going to hotspots. You can’t take your eyes off, it’s none other than Virat Kohli.”
“He not only does his job so well, but apart from that, he inspires everyone. It’s a great opportunity to be playing along with him. I’d like the other youngsters to come up and start replication, doing half of it. And the whole team will look very different,” he added.
