India is hosting the World Cup which will be held in October-November this year. After a hiatus of more than 11 years, the World Cup returns to Indian soil. The India team won the 2011 World Cup in India under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Will the Indian team be able to repeat this success at home? Krishnamachari Srikkanth, a former head of team for the Indian team and a member of the world champion team, believes it is entirely possible. For this, Srikkanth presents only one condition. This condition refers to Virat Kohli. He says that for this the great Indian batsman Virat Kohli will have to change roles.
Virat will be in the role of assistant instead of hero
The former India opener outlined Kohli’s possible roles, saying he will be seen more as a facilitator than the team’s biggest hero at the World Cup in 10 months’ time. According to Srikkanth, the talismanic batsman Virat Kohli will help other players in the team to carry out their duties in the upcoming world cricket ODI event.
On Kohli’s possible role, Srikkanth said, “What role can we give him? Previously Gautam Gambhir has played the role of anchor and the same can be said for Virat Kohli this time. It seems he is playing the same role this time. He will come He will help players like Ishan Kishan. When Kishan scored a double hundred, Virat scored a hundred. Look at Kishan, how he attacks the ball. He also scored a double hundred recently. These players tell them to go out on the field and play their game.”
Virat will become the top run scorer
Along with this, he also made a big prediction about Kohli, hearing that Virat can make millions of fans smile. Srikkanth said the former Indian captain will top the batting charts at this year’s World Cup.
The Indian team needs to give an exemption to a fearless player like Kishan
Srikkanth said on Star Sports’ Cricket Ka Mahakumbh: “It’s all about giving freedom to the players. Do what you want, play your game even if you go out. That’s the kind of attitude the team needs.”
He further said: “Just like Ishan Kishan, you need two or three players who aren’t afraid to put themselves up front in the field. Whether it’s an all-rounder, a batsman or a bowler, everyone needs those players in this lineup. “.
India won the first World Cup in cricket history in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. Srikanth has been an important member of the team that won the world champion title for the first time.
