Virat Kohli has become the scapegoat of some sort: Sanjay Manjrekar
Meanwhile, ahead of the Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup this year, India is struggling to find an established number four batter. The likes of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have just made their comebacks for the continental tournament. Meanwhile, a while back, former India head coach Ravi Shastri suggested that Kohli bat at this position.
However, former India cricket, Manjrekar is very skeptical of this move. He even pointed out how the Men In Blue suffered when Sachin Tendulkar batted at number four in the ODI World Cup 2007.
“The more and more you talk about other options like Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli seems to get relegated. He has sort of become the scapegoat in the sense that you bat him at No.4 and all your problems are solved,” said Manjrekar during an interview.
“In 2007 World Cup when the team management of Rahul Dravid and Greg Chappell sent Sachin at No.4 instead of opening because they had people like Virender Sehwag and others at the top of the order. However, that became a huge controversy. So it is really up to Kohli, an iconic player, on whether he wants to bat at No.4. It seems like a perfectly simple solution, but it concerns Kohli,” said Manjrekar.
This is how Twitter reacted
