On Monday, Sunil Gavaskar questioned if Virat Kohli would participate in the forthcoming Indian Premier League.
Legendary batsman Virat Kohli left the recent Test series against England on Monday, citing personal reasons. This got him thinking about whether the star batsman would be involved in the forthcoming Indian Premier League. Royal Challengers Bangalore and the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings will square off at Chepauk on March 22 to kick off the IPL 24. The star of the RCB pulled out before the first match in Hyderabad, despite having been chosen in the Indian Test squad initially. The cricketer and wife Anushka Sharma made the announcement of the arrival of their second child earlier this month.
IPL ke liye bhi na khele (Will he play…) ke kuchh rationale ke liye khel nahin rahe hain, shaayad ho sakta hai. Gavaskar responded quite cheekily when asked if Kohli would be hungry for runs in the IPL as he would be back to action after a long layoff. “He is not playing because of some reason, possibly he may not play in the IPL given well.
Gavaskar was conversing with Indian Institute of Management, Ranchi students at a Star Sports Star function.
