As India gears up for the Australia tour, strong words from Virat Kohli's childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, are sparking big conversations.
While speaking to ANI, Rajkumar Sharma said, “Virat doesn’t have to prove anything, he has achieved everything, the way he has played, the way he has won the matches for the country, everyone knows his contribution. He is well prepared, and whenever he is well prepared, the results are always good, and I have full faith that he will do well as usual.”
Virat’s performance on Australia’s fast-paced pitches and whether the three-match tour will be his final appearance on the international scene has been the subject of growing discussions and questions. Virat has made it clear that he intends to play in the 2027 World Cup, but new rumours indicate that things may not unfold as many had expected.
Rajkumar Sharma praised Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, saying they have nothing left to prove given their legendary contributions to Indian cricket. He believes that at this stage of their careers, their achievements speak for themselves.
“I would like to say that both of them are great players, and they have nothing left to prove, because the whole of India knows their contribution to Indian cricket, so if they have to prove themselves at this stage, then it will be a very funny thing,” he added.
Indian squad: Shubman Gill (C), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (VC), Axar Patel, KL Rahul (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal.
