Virat Kohil and his boys are all set to the level the win-loss ratio in the fourth Test match at the Southampton. Joe Root led England cricket team are leading in the five Test match series by 2-1.
The former cricketer of Pakistan Saqlain Mushtaq hails Virat Kohli's performance in the England and his hunger for scoring runs has often earned him comparisons with Indian legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
Pakistani former cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq told to PTI in an exclusive chat that “As a batsman, Sachin was a very big player. I cannot compare (two eras) but today Virat is the only one who comes close", as reported in the Indian Express.
“The way Virat is scoring runs, it is ominous for England. During the first Test, I saw a signboard that said it is ‘England versus Virat Kohli’. If you take him out of the equation, it will be very easy for England. If you see from a coaching point of view, it is because of him the others have scored runs whilst batting with him. Having a world class batsman like Virat in your team certainly boosts the entire batting line-up,” he added.
“If you look at the statistics from the first three Tests, India’s pacers have bowled quicker than English pacers. When did that last happen? The way they walk, and present themselves, the way they bowl fast and move the ball, you look at the Indian pacers and think that they are proper fast bowlers.
“They have a lot of physical strength, and it shows in their walking and running. It signals that they have put in the proper hard work to become fast bowlers at this level and they appear professional in every sense of the word.”
