Virat Kohli can score a century even at number 3 – KL Rahul
Virat Kohli got a chance to open the innings as regular opener India captain Rohit Sharma took rest. However, Rahul believes that the legendary batsman can score a century even in his regular batting position at No. They said,
‘It’s not like he can score a century only while opening. Even if he can bat at number three, he can score a century and it’s about the role the team wants to play. Today she played her role beautifully. He will play his next role with a good performance in the next series, there is no question about that. The desire and passion to win matches for his country has always been the same for him. But, we are obsessed with numbers. His contribution in the last 2-3 years is still phenomenal. He is still among the top two or three run-scorers in white-ball cricket.’
