“Tan hambriento como empezó”: Gambhir, sin duda, Kohli volverá a estar en forma para las pruebas IND vs NZ

Virat Kohli hasn’t scored a Test half-century this year. The sample size is small—just three matches—but he’s averaging 31 this year. With the India vs Australia Test series coming up, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir does not doubt that Kohli is famished to score runs. With the India vs New Zealand Tests starting on October 16, Gambhir’s certain that he’ll want to make the most of the 3-match series and reach the shores of Australia with exemplary form. 

World-class cricketer: Gambhir on Kohli

Gambhir recalled how Kohli made his debut in 2008, and to him, his hunger from that day to now remains the same. “See, my thoughts about Virat have always been very clear that he is a world-class cricketer. He has performed for such a long time. He is as hungry as when he made his debut. To me, his hunger is always there,” Gambhir told reporters in Bengaluru on Monday.

“That hunger is what makes him a world-class cricketer. I am sure that he will be hungry to get runs in this series and probably moving forward to Australia as well. So, I am sure that he will be looking for these three Test matches in the series and then to Australia,” the Indian head coach added.
