Ajit Agarkar Explained Importance Of Virat Kohli’s Knock-In WTC Final

During a discussion on Star Sports, Ajit Agarkar explained that Team India’s win will be subject to the performance of Virat Kohli in the WTC final. “Virat Kohli will have to get runs if India has to compete in this Test match, there are no two ways about it,” Agarkar said during a discussion on Star Sports’ Game Plan.

“It is almost a repeat of that series that he went to England and put his demons away from the previous tour because Southee has bowled well against him. There are other guys who are going to swing the ball, so it is going to be a big challenge but he rose to that challenge against England the last time he toured there. So, I expect him to do that”, he added.

Tim Southee is the man in form during the recent England vs New Zealand series picking up 6 wickets in the first innings. On top of that, Southee has dismissed Virat Kohli on 10 occasions in international cricket. It will be a battle to watch during finals.

England pitches are expected to favor Kiwi pacers with similar home conditions. India is expected to face a very tough challenge in the highly-anticipated clash.

Kane Williamson and co are playing two-match Test series against England before the WTC final which will give them a slight advantage playing on England’s pitch and condition.
