Virat Kohli is receiving a lot of praise for his brilliant ton during IND vs BAN and in same row, former English skipper Nasser Hussain added his name to list. While speaking to Star Sports, Hussain stated that Kohli is brilliant in run chases because he plays with situation and never eats too many balls. He said:
Kohli always plays situation and that’s why he is brilliant in run chases. He sees situation out re in front of him, he won’t be much off strike rate anyway because he never takes up deliveries or chews up deliveries. On a pitch like this if you wanted to go into ar gear, if he was chasing 350, Kohli would’ve gone into ar gear, but he was just making sure India got over line as he often does.
