Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, and Marco Jansen, three South African cricketers, lavished praise on Virat Kohli for his steadfast role as a cornerstone of India’s cricketing trinity—Test, ODI, and T20 formats—during the previous six challenging years. Temba Bavuma stressed that ignoring Virat Kohli while talking about the risks the Indian batting lineup poses is an unconscionable mistake.
Markram, who also praised Kohli for this quality, emphasized the unwavering competitive attitude that motivates Kohli’s relentless pursuit of success. In his evaluation, Jansen said that bowling to Kohli was difficult and that the former Indian captain had a keen awareness of his own advantages and disadvantages.
“Obviously, you can’t rule out Virat Kohli, the biggest threat in the Indian batting order. Bavuma was cited on Star Sports as saying, “We’ll say that he understands the conditions because he has played here quite a few times.”
He is a formidable rival. Although we may not always be the best players, we should always strive to compete and be more hungry than our opponents, according to Markram.
“Virat Kohli knows what he is doing and what his strengths and weaknesses are, so bowling to him is tough,” Jansen continued
The impressive record of Virat Kohli in Test matches in South Africa
The standout Indian batsman will be at the center of South Africa, ready to rule a two-game Test series. On December 26, the first match will take place at SuperSport Park in Centurion. Throughout the course of their 23 Test matches, India has experienced 12 losses, 7 draws, and 4 victories during their historic journey into South Africa. The team from India will get encouragement from their recent victory at SuperSport Park in 2022.
Standing fourth among the top run scorers in Indian Test cricket, the Delhi hitter is an exceptional talent. The 35-year-old has an incredible record, scoring 1236 runs in 14 games at a striking average of 56.18, including a noteworthy 55.10 strike rate in South Africa. Three hundred and four half-centuries make up his repertory, which solidifies his crucial role in India’s Test ambitions.
