The Indian skipper Virat Kohli will go down in the history books as one of the greatest ever batsman across formats. The consistency with which he gets runs in just unmatchable by any standards.
Each and every opposition bowler would want to pip out the greatest batter of all time at least once in their bowling career.
The Kiwi pacer in his recent interview has said that he plays the game to win such battles against the greatest players of the game
I test myself against Virat Kohli- Trent Boult
If there is any weakness that can be found in the game of Virat Kohli, then it can be that left armer angle. The #1 batsman has a history of getting troubled by the quality left arm seamers throughout his career.
Though Virat had his shares of impeccable success against quality left arm seamers, his downfall against Mitchell Johnson, Mohammad Amir, and Trent Boult in the 2015 world cup semi finals, 2017 champions trophy finals, and the 2019 world cup semi finals respectively stand as a black mark in his illustrious career so far.
Here’s what the #1 limited overs bowler Trent Boult had to say about his battle with Virat Kohli
That’s personally why I play the game, to get guys like that (Kohli) out and test myself against them, so I can’t wait to get stuck in. But he’s an exceptional player. Everyone knows how great he is.
An intriguing battle awaits cricket fans
India have geared up for the massive series against the Kiwis in style as all their bowlers and batsmen got good game time in the warm-up game against the New Zealand XI side.
Although Virat Kohli didn’t take part in the warm-up game, he was seen practicing in an intense manner in the nets against the Indian speedsters Saini, Shami, and Umesh Yadav. It will be an epic battle when the Indian batters face some quality left arm seamers in Wagner and Boult in the test series.
Wellington will host the 1st test on 21st February.
