Matthew Hayden, a former Australian opener, responded to Ravi Shastri’s remark that Virat Kohli “needs a break” when commentating on an IPL 2022 match between RCB and SRH.
A controversy has erupted once more over whether Virat Kohli should take a sabbatical to revitalize himself after his third golden duck of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season against SunRisers Hyderabad on Sunday. Ravi Shastri, the former head coach of the Indian cricket team, was the first to propose the notion. Harsha Bhogle, Matthew Hayden, and Sunil Gavaskar questioned whether or not the former India captain needed rest while commentating on the match between RCB and SRH.
Harsha Bhogle addressed Ravi Shastri’s point during Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s second over, saying, “Ravi Shastri indicated that Virat Kohli needs a rest.”
Matthew Hayden asked if Shastri was saying the same thing about Rohit Sharma, who has also struggled in the current Indian Premier League.
“What about Rohit Sharma does he say the same? It’s not like these guys aren’t playing cricket all the time; these events come around so rapidly, and Kohli has been excellent at it for so many years, being so emotional and passionate about it. When you’re under a lot of stress, it’s hard to switch gears “In an interview, Hayden remarked this.
“Also, it takes a lot of guts to tell the selector, “Sorry, I need to be out.” No player ever believes that they can do that. After all, they just want to play. When you find yourself in a rut and have no idea how to get out, it may be really irritating. Virat Kohli’s body language is hard and positive, like David Warner’s, and he has an explosive cover drive “Then he said something.
“I brought it up because Ravi and Virat have known each other for a few years now, and they’ve done a number of ads together. He has a keen insight into the workings of the mind “A reply from Bhogle to Hayden was sent.
Sunil Gavaskar offered his thoughts on the subject, saying, ” “You can take a sabbatical as long as you don’t miss any India games. Simply put, India’s matches must always be ranked first.”
In the SRH match, Kohli was sent back to the pavilion for a golden duck by Jagadeesha Suchith. This season, Kohli has scored only 216 runs in 12 matches. For the sixth time in his IPL career, Virat Kohli had a golden duck.
In the game between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the former made 192/3 in 20 overs. Rahul Tripathi smashed 58, but no one else was able to match him at the other end, as RCB went on to win by 67 runs.
At the bottom of the points table, RCB has 14 points from 12 matches.
