Do you play for your centuries, not the team…? Big attack on Virat Kohli

The world salutes Virat Kohli who has scored 80 centuries in international cricket. Whenever Virat Kohli comes on the field, it seems as if this player will not rest until he scores a century. This hunger of Virat makes him the top batsman of the current era. However, former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez believes something else. Hafeez has raised a question mark on Virat Kohli and said that this player plays slowly to complete his century.

What did Mohammad Hafeez say?

Virat Kohli said in a podcast, 'No matter who is batting, your intentions should always be to make the team win. But if a player is stopping his big shots after reaching the score of 90, then I think it is wrong. If a player is taking 5 balls to reach a century at a score of 95 and if his intentions change immediately after the century, then why did he not play the same shot at the score of 95?' Hafeez further said, 'In the match against South Africa, Virat Kohli played a lot of balls to reach the century and he was not playing big shots.'

Questions were raised on Babar Azam

Mohammad Hafeez has said such things against many big batsmen. Recently, he also made statements against Babar Azam. He said that something can happen to the Pakistan team only when the players stop playing for their statistics. He alleged that many Pakistani cricketers play for themselves rather than the team. However, it is quite strange to say such things against Virat Kohli because Virat Kohli has won most of the matches for Team India during his 80 international centuries. It has rarely happened that Virat has scored a century and the team has lost the match.
