"Don't Think Steve Smith Or Joe Root Or Kane Williamson...": Ex-India Star's Massive Virat Kohli Comparison
India star Virat Kohli's lean patch in international cricket continues. The right-handed batter failed to fire in the recently-concluded first Test against Bangladesh held in Chennai. In both innings of the Test, Kohli delivered subpar scores of 6 and 17. Kohli's poor form has put him under harsh criticism.
