"Even The South Africans" Tried That: Sunil Gavaskar Analyses Virat Kohlis Dismissal In 1st ODI vs West Indies

Virat Kohli had a disappointing outing in Rohit Sharma's first match as full-time Team India white-ball captain. The former India captain was dismissed for eight runs off four deliveries at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The former skipper smacked two balls for boundaries but mistimed the fourth delivery and was sent back to the pavilion by Alzarri Joseph. Attempting to hook ball to the fine-leg boundary, he ended up top edging it to the fielder in the deep. Speaking on Star Sports, former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar analysed Kohli's dismissal and stated he was on the receiving end of similar deliveries in South Africa as well.

"If Virat Kohli Can Take Over...": Ajit Agarkar On "Easiest Solution" For Royal Challengers Bangalore

Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar said if Virat Kohli is willing to take up the captaincy again then it could be the "easiest solution" for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) ahead of IPL 2022. Kohli had decided to quit as RCB's captain weeks after announcing that the 2021 World Cup would be his last as India's captain in the shortest format of the game. In December last year, the prolific right-hander was replaced by Rohit Sharma as India's white-ball skipper and a month later, Kohli decided to quit as Test captain following a 1-2 defeat to South Africa. Kohli, however, was retained by RCB as a player and Agarkar feels it might just be the best thing for RCB if he continues as the leader.
