Aiden Markram is in awe of Virat Kohli’s fervor and drive. Cricket players from South Africa, Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, and Marco Jansen, praised Virat Kohli, who for the past six years has been a mainstay of the Indian squad in all three forms.
By no means can one afford to disrespect Virat Kohli when discussing challenges to the Indian batting lineup, according to Bavuma.
Virat Kohli is without a doubt the greatest threat in the Indian batting order and cannot be ignored. We’ll argue that he understands the conditions because he has played here quite a few times, Bavuma was cited as saying on Star Sports.
Markram claimed that his competitive spirit sets him apart from the others. According to him, Kohli hasn’t let his desire for achievement to wane.
He is an intense rival. Even though we aren’t always the best players, we should always strive to compete and be more hungry than the opponents, Markram added.
Meanwhile, Jansen claimed that because Kohli is aware of his advantages and disadvantages, it is difficult to bowl to him.
Jansen continued, “Virat Kohli knows what he is doing and what his strengths and weaknesses are, so bowling to him is tough.”
Currently, Kohli is in South Africa, where he will play two Test matches. The first Test is slated to begin at SuperSport Park in Centurion on December 26.
Among Indian batsmen, Kohli is fourth in terms of most runs scored in Test matches. The now 35-year-old has amassed 1236 runs at a strike-rate of 55.10 and an average of 56.18 in 14 games, including three hundreds and four half-centuries.
