Batting icon Sunil Gavaskar slams Virat Kohli over his poor shot selection

Kohli’s batting no-show on the penultimate day of the WTC final fast-tracked the way for Australia to register a big win over the Asian giants.

With Pat Cummins and Team securing the ICC Test mace after thrashing India in the WTC final, a dejected Kohli took to Instagram to share a noteable message. “Silence is a source of great strength,” and credited Chinese philosopher – Lao Tzu.

Scot Boland who ousted the 34
year-old cricketer sparked a shocking batting collapse of Team India in the first session on Day 5 at The Oval. Boland also ousted middle-order batter Ravindra Jadeja in the same over to turn the tie on its head.

Given a target of 444, India managed to score only 234 following Kohli’s departure for 49 off 78 balls in the 2nd innings was dismissed by Mitchell Starc for 14 off 31 balls.

Later Kohli was slammed by legendary Sunil Gavaskar for his poor shot selection – It was a pretty ordinary shot, outside the off stump and he was leaving till then. Maybe he was conscious that he needed one run to reach his half-century. It happens when you are nearing a milestone,” claimed Gavaskar to Star Sports. India lost its last seven wickets for the addition of 70 runs as Australia recorded a massive 209-run win to win their maiden WTC title. Australia have now won every ICC Men’s trophy.
