Srinagar: Former India Cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has claimed that Virat Kohli is going to score 10-15 hundreds in next two-three years after scoring century against Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Kohli scored century, helping India easily chase down the 242-run target. Kohli breached the triple-digit mark with a boundary, which also sealed India’s win and a semi-final spot.
Sidhu lauded Kohli’s character and said his brilliant knock against Pakistan convinced him that the batter would surely add 10 to 15 tons more to his tally.
“Character is not made in a crisis, it is exhibited. This is a man (Virat Kohli) with pedigree, with passion. And after this 100, I can say it with conviction that this man is playing for the next 2 or 3 years and he is getting another 10 to 15 hundreds. That, you take it from me. Because, you see, the ultimate litmus test for anyone is how he goes through the adverse times, how he embraces adversity. Last six months, there has been so much going on that he chose his moment. When he scored runs against Pakistan, people are not going to forget it for 10 years,” Sidhu said on JioStar Network.
“Look, when you assess Virat Kohli, what is his trademark? If I look at Sachin Tendulkar, it was always the back foot punch that he would give. Look at Gavaskar, the straight drive. When you look at Virat Kohli, it’s the cover drive. And when he gets his head on top of the ball and he’s cover driving beautifully, you know he’s back. If you look at the initial part of his innings, if you look at these drives, you know that this is the Virat Kohli of old,” he added.
