‘Virat Kohli will be..’, Manjrekar feels King will be ready for IND vs SA Test series challenge

Kohli averages 51.35 in 7 matches and has 2 centuries and 3 fifties to his name in South Africa.

Virat Kohli’s last series with the India cricket team was the IND vs SA Test series in 2021–22. The former skipper had already been struggling in Test cricket since 2020 and had decided to call it quits on the leadership. However, Virat Kohli has roared back in 2023 with 2 centuries and 557 runs in his name in 7 matches.

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has backed King Kohli, claiming that he has rekindled the fire within himself. Recounting his struggles with the bat last time, Manjrekar stated that he’d be angry about his failures last time and that it’ll bode well for India in the IND vs SA Test series.

“I see Kohli doing his own few things. He is going to get fired up. The last trip to South Africa, he did not get a big one, and Kohli has had to work harder for Test runs recently. When Virat Kohli is all fired up and angry, that’s the sight I like, the commentator said while speaking about Kohli on Star Sports.
