The former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri went slightly chequered while showering praises on the just back-informed Virat Kohli after his match winning 71st International century in the final match of India against Afghanistan in Asia Cup 2022. Everyone is complementing Virat Kohli for returning to cricket after 1021 days, which was the last time when he hit an international century but the way which Ravi Shastri used to praise Virat Kohli is now trending on the Internet and various social media platforms.
While interacting with Star Sports after the elimination of the Indian team from Asia Cup, Ravi Shastri said,”Today, I think he will be five kilos less. Don’t ask me where the weight has gone from, five kilos less at least from the head. You could see from the last 40 runs of his innings. It was Virat Kohli. His trade mark shots, the confidence, the poise, the utter disdain for bowling is back. It took a long time coming.”

Later he added, “You mentioned 1020 days, I can say 700 days I was in that dressing room when that happened. It’s a long time. The monkey is off his back now. When you had astounding success like he has, when 70 hundreds come like this, then you go through a patch of one, two years, two-and-half years, two-and-three quarter years, and then everyday people start reminding – ‘It’s been that long’. He is human. It would have been eating him up. He would be getting up every morning, whether thinking of it or not, subconsciously being reminded”.
