Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has clarified that no one paid attention to what he said about Virat Kohli’s batting and that there has never been a batsman in history without a blemish in his armor. The former Indian captain was the standout batsman for the Men in Blue in the ongoing World Cup along with Rohit Sharma.
During the panel discussion, Shoaib Malik brought up the topic of Kohli and spin, and Malik explained that India’s great batsman has a weakness for spin. The former Pakistan captain was just doing his job as an analyst, but he may not have expected the flood of comments and endless insults.
In one of the post-match shows, this topic was brought up again and Shoaib Malik reacted with a small laugh and then talked about the incident and said that all batsmen in the world of cricket have weaknesses in their own bodies. I feel that his statement in this game was misunderstood by the fans, as he said that he would have a lot of trouble.
“Even if he scores 100,000 points, there is not a single batsman in the world who does not have weaknesses, nor has there ever been one.” You understand what I mean. did not. What I was trying to say is that batters whose feet move laterally have problems with spin. If you need examples, there are lots of great examples. Anyone can ask questions.
“When the foot moves sideways towards the spinner, it becomes less easy for the spinner the moment the ball comes in. I’m not saying he doesn’t know how to play. I think he’s a little uncomfortable. That’s it. If you had watched the whole show, you would have known that I complimented him all the time. He is one of the greats,” Shoaib Malik said.
Earlier, when Shoaib Malik talked about Pakistan’s weaknesses against spinners, he said that like Babar Azam, he will play against Afghanistan’s Noor Ahmed and Kuldeep Yadav. I explained that they often get caught in spin nets. Malik stuck to the theme of dealing with left arm and wrist spinners.
However, his insight into the challenges posed by off-spinners provided a more accurate depiction of the batting problems faced by Babar and Kohli.
Virat Kohli was in great form throughout the ODI World Cup and was one of the top Indian batsmen, contributing to the team’s four-wicket win against New Zealand, but he missed the match against Bangladesh. Sri Lanka will be keen to win a well-deserved century and maintain their good form until the crucial end of the tournament.
