Srinagar: Former Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Afridi has questioned India’s batting superstar First Kohl’s attitude amid former India skippers poor run of form in International Cricket.
Virat Kohli’s last International ton came way back in 2019 in a home Test vs Bangladesh. His IPL 2022 also went badly as he scored just over 300 runs from 16 games with just 2 fifties to his name.
Now joining other former players to raise question mary about Kohli’s attitude, Shahid Afridi has said that Virat Kohli no more wants to be the World No 1.
“In cricket, attitude matters the most. That is what I talk about the most. Do you have the attitude towards cricket or not? That Kohli, earlier in his career, wanted to be the No. 1 batsman in the world… is he still playing cricket with the same motivation? That is the big question. He has the class. But does he really even want to be No. 1 again? Or does he think he has achieved everything in life. Now just relax and pass time? It’s all about attitude,” Afridi said on Samaa TV.
Kohli recently said that he now looks to play for the team and not look for personal gains. As long as his team is doing well, he is happy. He wants to contribute to the team’s success.
The upcoming Test and the limited-overs matches vs England in their own den might just be the series Kohli comes back to his best.
