Def true. Majority of Indian fans would be encouraging and cheering Sachin when he walked onto bat. He knew everyone wanted him to do well and no one will take out knives when he failing.. Kohli on the other hand has huge swathes of Indian fans actively rooting against him
Kohli would rather retire than play in Ranji. He has enough money and public support to keep his spot for another year. Kohli doesn't gain anything from Ranji as he earns most of his money from IPL and sponsors. India is in no rush to dump him as Kohli brings a lot of viewers.
"Not Acceptable": Virat Kohli's Childhood Coach Gives Honest Assessment Of India Stalwart's Batting
In a chat on India News Sports, Rajkumar Sharma said that it is 'unfortunate' to see a batter of the class of Virat Kohli struggling against spinners from Bangladesh.
"A batter is quite disappointed after he gets out, and Virat Kohli is very aggressive by nature," he said on India News Sports. "But the way he has been getting out is not acceptable. It's unfortunate to see a batter of his stature struggle against Bangladeshi spinners. He should have shown more intent.
Rajkumar has also suggested Kohli to bat with a free mindset, with the intent being to unsettle the spinners.
"With both the mid-on and mid-off fielders inside the circle, he could have played a bit more freely. Unless you unsettle a spinner, he is not going to let you play. You need to do something innovative like playing a slog sweep or sweeping an outside off ball," he further explained.
