“If It Would Be The Last Test Match of Him.. We will Surely Miss Him”: Legendary Australian All-Rounder on Kohli’s Retirement Calling
When the world of 22 Gauge, has anticipated for Kohli's retirement, the wishes and sad greetings from Australian Skipper, Pat Cummins really melts the atmosphere.
After the victory in Border-Gavaskar Trophy, when Cummins seated for a press conference, he conferred that if it would be the last test of Virat, then we'll miss him. Pat Cummins has been widely celebrated as an example of good sportsperson worldwide, now his gesture towards the word class batsman is really the green signal for good cricket.
Cummin's Heartfelt wishes for Kohli:
“It’s always been a a wonderful contest. More than just the runs that he scored, he brings a bit of theatre to the game which is sometimes good and sometimes it can rile you up as an opposition, which I’m sure is part of his plans,” Cummins said in a response to a PTI query after the six wicket win here.
“Really enjoyed playing with him. You know, he’s been one of the the star batters for the last decade or so. You know, if you get his wicket it goes a long way to winning a game so yeah, it will be sad if it’s his last series.” Cummins did admit that Bumrah’s absence on the final day of the series did help them, considering he took 32 wickets in the series.
Bumrah's Performance Was Exceptional Throughout The Series:
“Every time he (Bumrah) bowled he seemed to have an impact and took some key wickets. So yeah, no doubt that (his absence) helped our chase a little bit.” Although he termed it as Indian team’s internal matter, Cummins was a touch surprised with Rohit Sharma’s decision to drop himself from the playing eleven on account of poor form.
Kohli scored only 190 runs throughout the series with a Strike-Rate of 32.79 which him made low and dark, triggers the calling of retirement but King has to wait for his lucky charm and then knock it with a flying kiss.
