Former India opener Virender Sehwag expects Indian batting champion Virat Kohli to finish as the top run-getter in the 2023 ODI World Cup to be held in his home country. He hopes Kohli gets a similar response to Sachin Tendulkar in 2011 for everything he has done for the country over the years.
When we won the World Cup in 2011, Kohli was one of the youngsters who carried the legendary Sachin Tendulkar on his back. The 34-year-old entered the ODI World Cup in good form and will be hoping to maintain his performance till the tournament. He is expected to play a key role in major events for the Men in Blue, so he must remain calm in the big matches.
Cricbuzz’s Virat Kohli hopes that Virat Kohli scores more hundreds in the upcoming ODI World Cup in India, Tendulkar wears He hopes to be on the ground like the legendary Sachin after winning the championship.
“Cheek (Kohli) didn’t score a century in the 2019 World Cup. This year he scored hundreds and finally won the World Cup. I hope to be the top scorer in the World Cup tournament. Then I want him to be carried on my shoulders and do laps on the floor,” Virender Sehwag said.
The former Indian captain has scored 1,030 runs in 26 innings in three World Cups. That includes his six half-centuries and hundreds of runs. The prolific Indian batsman is hoping to further increase his scoring tally by playing for the team in the World Cup. During this year, regular performances paved the way for future large-scale events.
Rohit Sharma Became The Badshah Of ODIs After 2011 World Cup – Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag says Indian cricket stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli deserve to win for their home country given their contribution to the team over the years. I believe that the Indian captain wants to win the championship. He won the trophy after narrowly missing out on making the squad for the 2011 ODI World Cup.
“These two senior players (Rohit and Kohli) deserve to win the World Cup. Rohit Sharma was close to being selected for the 2011 World Cup but missed out .After that, he became the Badshah of ODIs.He deserves to win the World Cup trophy as he is a great player,” added Virender Sehwag.
Rohit Sharma was an incredible opener for the Indian team in all three formats of the game. Rohit made his debut for India in the ODI format in 2007. His career took a huge turnaround after being appointed as the opening batsman in 2013, as he sought to lead the team to his third ODI World Cup title.
