“Concerned about a milestone. I don’t think there’s room for that in this game anymore. You’ve just got to keep going especially with wickets in hand at that stage. You’ve got to keep going,” Doull added.

Kohli scored a stunning fifty off just 35 deliveries and went on to register a big landmark. He became the only current player to slam a half century against all existing 9 teams.
As for Simon Doull, the Kiwi commentator previously Critisied Babar Azam during the Pakistan Super League (PSL). “Rather than putting the team first… the last little while, that’s all that been happening. Rather than looking for boundaries, still so much firepower to come. Hundreds are brilliant, stats are great, but it has to be team first,” Doull said against Babar Azam.
