After comparing Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with Sachin Tendulkar, Srikkanth feels a player of Kohli's stature deserved a “royal send-off” from the longest format of the game.
However, Kris Srikkanth believes that the England tour would have been the perfect stage to give Virat Kohli a deserving farewell, as he has given so much to Indian cricket. The former World Cup winner also feels Kohli retired from his favorite format early.
The dashing right-hander was one of the most iconic batters and captains in Test cricket history. The former Indian captain played 123 Test matches, scoring 9,230 runs and hitting 30 centuries.
"It is not about age. He's got the passion and aggression; he's simply amazing. In 20-20 cricket, he is amazing, and in the IPL as well. Against England, in that series, Virat should have gone, frankly speaking. I think they should have given him a royal send-off. For someone who has done so much for Indian cricket, they should have given him a royal send-off in Test cricket. Unfortunately, it did not happen.”
Let Virat Kohli decide his own future: Kris Srikkanth
Srikkanth further added, “You should let him alone. Let Virat decide what to do. Like what Sachin did. He is king of kings. He himself would know what to do and what not to do. He is a very balanced guy. I like his commitment to the game, and he is a big team man.”
Kris Srikkanth rates Virat Kohli among India's greatest-ever captains
Srikkanth signed off by saying, “He's been one of the best captains India has produced, especially in Test cricket." But it's just that he's not been lucky that he could not win an ICC trophy. But otherwise, in my opinion, he has been one of the best captains India has produced.”
