Ravichandran Ashwin backs Virat Kohli:
However, Ravichandran Ashwin has thrown his support behind his former India teammate and has backed him to play for the national team for at least two more years. Speaking to RevSportz, the off-spinner stated that Kohli is still fit and can contribute immensely to the team that is filled with youngsters.
The Tamil Nadu ace also highlighted how Virat Kohli can help youngsters in becoming better cricketers.
"Has to be replicated and taught and passed on by some of the seniors who will have to do that KT at this level," said Ravichandran Ashwin.
"That fine-tuning isn't happening now which is a cause of concern. However, look around the world, I've seen the video of Sam Konstas batting in first-class cricket in Australia and he was reverse-lapping a fast bowler and he got out doing it once or twice.
Meanwhile, Kohli is currently playing in the ICC Champions Trophy and is enjoying another prolific campaign with the bat. He is India's highest run-scorer in the tournament. In 4 games, the former India captain has scored 217 runs at an average of more than 72. He will be eyeing another good outing when India take on New Zealand in the final on Sunday (March 9).
