Hall presented his autobiography to Virat Kohli Hall asked Virat Kohli to score 100 centuries
New Delhi. Star batsman Virat Kohli met West Indies’ legendary fast bowler Wesley Hall at Kensington Oval ground in Barbados. Hall says that Virat Kohli is one of the all-time great batsmen. Virat met Hall after the practice session. 86-year-old Hall presented his autobiography ‘Answering the Call – The Extraordinary Life of Sir Wesley Hall’ to 35-year-old batsman Kohli. The Indian team will play its first Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup against Afghanistan on Thursday (20 June) at the same venue.
Former Barbados cricketer Sir Wesley Hall believes that in the modern era, Caribbean cricketers cannot be expected to turn down millions of dollars in franchise cricket contracts. But this is having an adverse effect on Test cricket. Hall, who played 48 Tests in his 16-year career, took 192 wickets. He has two half-centuries to his name in Tests. He told Virat Kohli, ‘You have come here to practice and you met an old man. I have seen many great players and you are one of them. I have seen your career and hope that you will play for India for many years to come.’
Virat replied yes to Wesley Hall on the question of 100 centuries
The Indian team will face Bangladesh on June 22 in its second Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup. After this, India will face Australia on June 24. To reach the semi-finals, Team India will have to win 2 out of 3 matches of Super 8. Sir Wesley Hall told Virat Kohli, ‘I follow your stats. I know that you have scored 80 centuries in international cricket. I want you to complete 100 centuries.’ Virat laughed as soon as he heard this from Sir Wesley Hall and he replied yes.
Virat Kohli flopped in America leg
The 17th season of IPL 2024 was very good for Virat Kohli. He was the highest run-scorer this season. But in this World Cup, no big score has come from his bat yet. In the first leg of the World Cup held in America, Virat flopped badly in 3 innings. In one match, he returned to the pavilion on the very first ball. Since the second leg of the World Cup is being played in the West Indies. It should be expected that Kohli’s bat will speak loudly on Caribbean soil.
