India batting coach Vikram Rathour revealed that former captain Virat Kohli toiled very hard to overcome his lean phase in Tests. Rathour, further, believes that he will play an impactful knock in the second and final Test against Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur starting Thursday, December 22.
Virat works really hard on his cricket, he always has: Vikram Rathour
“Virat works really hard on his cricket, he always has. When he was going through a so-called lean phase, he really worked hard. And we’re continuing to see that actually, he’s continuing to work hard and takes his practice sessions really seriously and puts in a lot of effort. And so does Gill and the other guys as well. You haven’t seen Pujara bat in the nets, so yeah, everyone puts in a lot of hard work and it’s good when it pays off,” said Rathour as quoted by India Today.
He also praised Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav for their skills.
“We’re looking at everybody to contribute, even with the bat. (Ravichandran) Ashwin and Kuldeep (Yadav) both batted really well. So, it is good to see that because they do put in a lot of hard work. Everybody is looking to bat and work hard on their skills, so it was good to see,” he added.
