Chennai: Indian captain Virat Kohli might fight for the form in the ongoing test series against England but former Test Cricketer-Turn-Commentator WV Raman felt he had to try to push others from behind to get the best from the front rather than leading from the front.
“If I am a Virat coach, I will tell him: ‘Virat (Kohli), just lead from the front.
Just try it and push the others from behind and make them do what they can say.
I’m sure you will be back as good as possible,” Raman said in virtual media interactions arranged by Sony Sports.
“He did show the nuances of his old game and fluency in the last round.
I am sure he will definitely do it well in the next two trial matches,” said the former Cricketer India.
Kohli only has 124 runs from five rounds with only half a century to his name and now has gone more than 50 inns without an international century.
Raman also said Kohli was in a situation similar to those faced by Maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
“See we can’t really blame it.
What generally becomes norms in life and other balls may not apply in cricket always.
I mean, what happens is, there is a lot of pressure on your own virat.
We are very concerned for everything he does.
We know he is one of the best bats so we expect a lot from him.
“This is similar to what with Sachin Tendulkar when he plays.
Even 95 was considered a failure, “he said.
About the Deputy Captain’s Examination Ajinkya Rahane, which is also not in the best form, he said Mumbai’s batsman is quite experienced but he only has to work on the approach and method to succeed.” Maybe you can take the leaves from the Kl Rahul approach in Nottingham.
He played very close, down the track, looking to go as much as he wanted, which was a good blow.
He also executed what was expected from him.
It also gives trust in the dressing room that this is something that can be done.
“So maybe it’s a case of every dough to exercise on an approach that will help him overcome his condition.
Experienced Rahane, has played international cricket and also ran abroad.
It’s just that he must work on the approach and the method to succeed,” he said.
Asked about the chances of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, who will soon visit Australia, he said, “I will tell you what.
If there are people who can challenge Australians or English girls, it’s our girls.
I can see another team What did it.
“Raman, who is a former female team coach, but feels not playing a test match at night before, it can hurt Indian women.
“One is a novelty factor because they haven’t played a test match with a pink ball.
That I think it’s a novelty factor, and they don’t know what to expect in terms of the movement of the stitching or swing done by a pink ball.
Give to the bowler.
So, it will different.
“Another thing is that Australians are a little more aggressive than British girls, and they have a quick bowler who can bowl at 125-130 kmph.
So, it will be a challenge, and there will be an extra bounce.
We must see how the Indian team counts it, “Raman said.
