Is Virat Kohli the ‘best batsman’ of India, not the world? Mohammed Shami gave a clever answer
Former Indian team captain Virat Kohli is currently the best batsman in the world. Many cricket experts and former veteran players believe this. Kohli has proved his mettle across the world with his brilliant batting. Kohli is one of the few players in the cricket world who has the ability to create magic with his bat in all three formats. But what did Mohammed Shami say about Kohli in response to a question?
In an interview given to ‘News 18’, Mohammed Shami was asked a question about the best batsman, in response to which he took the name of Virat Kohli. But this question was also asked in another way, to which Shami answered very interestingly and cleverly. First Shami was asked who is India’s best batsman? Responding to this he took the name of Virat Kohli.
After this, the second question asked to the Indian pacer was, who is the best batsman in the world? Responding to this, Shami said, ‘I had just taken the name, Virat Kohli.’ That is, Shami answered both the questions in the name of Virat Kohli.
Out of the team due to injury
Let us tell you that these days Mohammed Shami is out of Team India due to injury. He last played the final of the ODI World Cup 2023. Since then he is away from the field. These days the Indian team is playing a five-match Test series against England at home.
The first two matches of the series have been played. Team India is yet to be announced for the remaining 3 matches. Shami was not a part of Team India in the first two matches, but he can join the Indian squad for the remaining three matches. However, no official information has come out regarding this yet. Whereas Virat Kohli was selected for the first two matches, but due to some personal reason he withdrew his name. Now there is a question on whether Kohli will also play the remaining 3 tests.
