Fit Virat Kohli likely to lead RCB in IPL tomorrow
Bengaluru: India captain Virat Kohli has fully recovered from his shoulder injury and is fit to lead Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next Indian Premier League match against Mumbai Indians, here tomorrow.
According to statement from BCCI read, “The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Medical Team on Wednesday confirmed that Indian Cricket Team and Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has regained match fitness.”
It added, “He will now be available for RCB’s next match against Mumbai Indians on April 14 in Bengaluru.”
Kohli underwent rehabilitation after sustaining an injury to his right shoulder while fielding during the third Test against Australia in Ranchi.
The injury forced Kohli to miss India’s fourth and series-deciding Test against Australia in Dharamsala and also RCB’s first three matches in the ongoing IPL 10.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
