Kaif himself caught Kohli in the slips in the first innings. Well, Kohli was struggling with the same issue throughout the Australia tour, and Kaif couldn't help but express his surprise that Virat still struggles with the same weakness all these years later.
The weakness he had earlier is still there: Mohammad Kaif
Kaif blamed Kohli’s tight bottom-hand grip for his struggles with the outside off-stump delivery. Despite this, Kohli achieved incredible success in his career that is commendable, said the former Indian batter. He noted, “Despite having a weakness against outside off-stump balls due to his tight bottom hand, the stature he achieved is commendable. He has 50 centuries in ODI cricket.”
Mohammad Kaif hopes Ranji will help Virat Kohli get back into his grooves
The commentator also hoped that Kohli’s return to the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 could help the right-handed batter to regain his form ahead of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Before the prestigious tournament, Kohli will play in the upcoming three-match ODI series against England at home.
Kaif signed off by saying, “Playing a Ranji Trophy match is a win-win for everyone. Virat Kohli will get some practice, and if he scores runs and gets back to form, it will benefit India a lot. So, we pray that he does well and spends some time at the crease. We hope he gets the kind of success he got in the 2023 ODI World Cup in the 2025 Champions Trophy as well.”
