‘MS Dhoni Made Virat Kohli Who He Is Today’ – Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar said that it is MS Dhoni who shaped Virat Kohli’s career.
The war of words between Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar shows no signs of slowing down in IPL 2024. Gavaskar, a renowned cricket commentator, has consistently criticized Kohli’s strike rate.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, known for his fiery spirit, has countered the criticism with a string of impressive, match-winning knocks for RCB and has even taken digs at these critics during his post-match conferences.
Gavaskar, however, refuses to back down. In a recent Star Sports commentary, he took a veiled dig at Kohli, stating, “When Virat Kohli started his career, it was a stop-start affair. The fact that MS Dhoni gave him that little extra momentum is why he is the Kohli we see today.”
The back-and-forth between Gavaskar and Kohli has divided fans. Some find Gavaskar’s criticism harsh, while others appreciate his frank analysis. Kohli’s supporters laud his recent form and view him as a vital cog in India’s batting line-up in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.
