South Africa former cricketer Allan Donald thinks that this could be the last tour of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in Proteas.
In an interview with RevSportz, Donald said that Virat-Rohit will want to ram it down the throat of South Africa as no one knows whether they will come on the next tour or not.
“They will be motivated to come and make a statement here in South Africa. Virat, I know how his mind works, having spent time with him at RCB, there is no doubt in my mind that he would come here to go all out. If this is their last tour of South Africa, and no one knows, then I think that they will want to come here and really ram it down the throats of South African cricket so it needs no motivation,” he added.
Former RCB coach Donald predicted that India would give a hard time to Proteas in the Test as they have star batters like Virat and Rohit. He also said that Virat is always motivated
“Virat is a highly motivated guy anyway. But no, those two guys will be coming here, if it is their last tour of South Africa, to go out with a massive bang. The fans in South Africa, the Indian support that they will get…there are a lot of South Africans who are fans of those two watching them in the IPL and World Cups. There’s no doubt that the threat will come from those two, the leadership will come from those two. I think it’ll be fun to watch.”
“Those guys are absolute legends of the game. The legends of Indian cricket. They will come here with one statement in mind – to go after South Africa. That’s the mindset anyway. That’s how they work. That’s where their greatness lies. Absolute professional attitude and mindset will take over,” Donald concluded.
India will play opening Test match against South Africa in Centurion on Tuesday i.e. December 26.
