Sometimes a little advice can change the whole game. Recently, legendary Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist gave a piece of advice to Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli that everyone should listen to.
After Virat Kohli’s disappointing performance in the second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Gilchrist has spoken about his experience, which is a lesson for every young cricketer.
Actually, the match played at the Adelaide Oval put Virat Kohli in front of a big challenge. After a brilliant performance in Perth, they were bowled out for just 7 and 11.
This was the time when everyone was questioning his performance. But Adam Gilchrist said something that can bring a new turn in Virat Kohli’s career.
Gilchrist recalled how batting great Sachin Tendulkar gave lessons in patience and discipline during his unforgettable innings in Sydney in 2004.
“The biggest battle is not with the bowler, but within yourself.” This is a mantra that can lead every cricketer towards success.
Virat Kohli already has exceptional experience. He has seen many ups and downs from U-19 to IPL and international cricket. Gilchrist believes that Kohli now needs to make a slight change in his strategy. By not chasing balls that come outside the stumps, they can bring more patience to their game.
“If you play long enough,” Gilchrist said, “you have to evolve in different ways. This is a big opportunity for Virat. He believes Kohli has all the abilities, just needs patience and discipline.
After this statement, many cricket fans like me are expecting that, there is still a lot left in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and we all hope that Virat Kohli will inspire the entire team with his patience and passion.
