Virat Kohli’s childhood coach backs him to shine

Virat Kohli’s childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, has expressed full confidence in the star batter ahead of India’s ODI series in Australia. According to Sharma, Kohli has already accomplished everything in international cricket and doesn’t need to prove his credentials again.

Sharma highlighted that Kohli’s preparation for the tour has been thorough and expects the former captain to deliver stellar performances. The India star will be returning to international cricket for the first time since leading the Men in Blue to Champions Trophy glory on March 9.

Although Kohli was initially slated to return to Test cricket for India’s England tour and the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, he decided to retire from the format. In a heartfelt announcement, Kohli ended his 14-year Test career, leaving behind an unforgettable legacy and focusing on limited-overs cricket for the foreseeable future.

Rajkumar Sharma Talked About People’s Exceptions From Virat Kohli:

While speaking to ANI, Rajkumar Sharma shared his thoughts on Virat Kohli’s upcoming return, stating that the veteran batter looks fully prepared and motivated to perform strongly during India’s tour of Australia after months away from international cricket.

He said, “ Virat doesn't have to prove anything, he has achieved everything, the way he has played, the way he has won the matches for the country, everyone knows his contribution. He is well prepared, and whenever he is well prepared, the results are always good, and I have full faith that he will do well as usual.”

There has been growing discussion about Virat Kohli’s performance on Australia’s fast pitches and whether this series could mark his final international outing. Despite expressing interest in playing the 2027 World Cup, uncertainty remains over whether those plans will ultimately materialize.

Rajkumar Sharma lauded both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, emphasizing that their immense contributions to Indian cricket speak for themselves. He added that players of their stature no longer need to prove anything, having already established their legacy through consistent performances.

He further said, “ I would like to say that both of them are great players, and they have nothing left to prove, because the whole of India knows their contribution to Indian cricket, so if they have to prove themselves at this stage, then it will be a very funny thing.”

India’s squad for ODI Series against Australia: Shubman Gill (C), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (VC), Axar Patel, KL Rahul (WK), Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal
