“Kohli never does that. He will seldom ever throw his wicket away. He makes you earn his wicket and that is exactly what you need.

Shubman Gill is at least getting hundreds, Shreyas Iyer is not getting hundreds. He is getting his opportunities to bat at number 4 on pitches as good as these and attacks as toothless as this and he is throwing away the opportunity,” he additional stated.
