RCB Teammate’s Startling Comment on Virat Kohli For T20 World Cup
The all rounder of Australian and Royal Challengers Bengaluru Glenn Maxwell said that Indian batting superstar Virat Kohli is the "most clutch player" he has played against and jokingly remarked that he hopes India does not pick him for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, starting in West Indies/USA from June 1 this year. While Maxwell praised Virat, he also said that there should be "heat" or scrutiny on every player in a country as cricket-crazy as India.
Speaking on Around The Wicket program, Maxwell said, “Virat Kohli is the most clutch player I have ever played against. The innings he played against us in Mohali during the 2016 T20 World Cup are still the best innings I have ever seen played against me. His awareness of what he needs to do to win the game is just phenomenal. I hope India do not pick him because it will be great to not come up against him.”
He further said, “It is not surprising because there are 1.5 billion and I reckon half of them are unbelievable cricketers in this country. It is a hard team to get into. You look at India’s top T20 players which are all playing in this tournament. They are phenomenal players and there should be heat on every player.”
