Hyderabad: India skipper Virat Kohli is in sublime form with the bat, the premier batsman played yet another memorable knock in the first innings of the ongoing Test against Bangladesh in Hyderabad.
Kohli dominated the Bangladeshi bowlers as he made 204. The captain displayed immense confidence and focus. Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium was once home to former India skipper Mohammad Azharuddin and veteran was extremely impressed with what he saw.
“He played well, no doubt about it. When opportunities arise, he scores runs. I would say he creates opportunities. He is a very good all-round player and you can hardly find any fault in him. More importantly, he is very focused. He is one player, who really looks after himself, looks after his body. When you are fit, you can score big runs at all times,” said Azhar to Mid-Day.
The former captain also added that Kohli’s rich vein of form has helped him become a better captain.
“He is a good leader. When you are scoring runs, you automatically become a good leader because you are armed with so much confidence. If you struggle with your performance then it becomes very difficult for a leader to perform his role. He is on a high and I hope he is always on a high. Whatever Virat has done, he has done with authority and conviction, so I think he doesn’t need to take any pressure on himself whatsoever,” said Azhar.
