‘Virat could still play less 2-3 years more, but the reason is …’, Ravi Shastri’s big statement on Kohli
New Delhi:
Former Indian coach Ravi Shastri has recently made a big statement about Virat Kohli (Shastri on Virat), who retired from Test cricket. The former cricketer said that he was surprised by Virat’s decision to retire from Test cricket as he believes that the star batsman had 2-3 years more left to play in a long format. He says that Kohli was mentally tired of continuous public vaccine. Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, with which his magnificent red ball career came to an end. He represented India in 123 Tests. It scored 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85 and includes 30 centuries. Shastri revealed that he spoke to him shortly before Kohli made his retirement decision public.
Shastri told the International Cricket Council (ICC) review, ‘I talked to him about it. I think his mind was very clear a week before the announcement of his retirement. They have no regrets. He said, ‘Virat shocked me because I felt that he had at least two-three years left for Test cricket. But then when you are mentally tired, it tells your body. You can physically be the most fit person in this field.
Shastri said, ‘You can fit more than half of your team players, but mentally you are tired, then it sends a message to the body. You know. Talking about his conversation, Shastri said that he became ‘burnout’ (fatigue) due to Kohli’s attractive personality and constant headlines.
He said, ‘He has been praised worldwide. He has more fans than any other cricketer in the last decade. Whether it is Australia, whether it is South Africa, he inspired people to watch the game.
Shastri said, ‘If he decided to do something, he gave his 100 percent, which is not easy to match. A player does his job, then you sit comfortably. But when the team is out with Kohli, it seems as if they have to take all the wickets, they have to take all the catches, they have to take all the decisions on the field. ” The Shastri said, ‘So much participation, I think if he does not rest, then he is going to be a burnout.’
