Virat Kohli has scored 49 centuries in ODI cricket.
Mohammad Hafeez was seen continuously criticizing Virat Kohli.
New Delhi. Virat Kohli, whose name is on everyone’s lips these days. Kohli has touched that milestone which no other batsman in the world is close to. Kohli equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s record of centuries in ODIs against South Africa in the World Cup 2023. Equal to 49 centuries. Kohli received congratulations from every corner of India on his birthday for this great record. But this achievement of Virat is not being digested by former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez. Hafeez has gone after Kohli with all his might.
Virat Kohli equaled the world record of centuries, for this Hafeez, instead of congratulating him, called him selfish. He had made it clear in a video that Virat Kohli plays for the milestone and not for the team. After which he was beaten to death by Venkatesh Prasad. What Venkatesh Prasad wrote on X has added insult to injury for Hafeez. Venkatesh Prasad had written on X, ‘Hearing strange arguments about Virat Kohli being selfish and obsessed with personal milestones. Yes, Kohli is selfish, selfish enough to fulfill the dreams of a billion people, selfish enough to strive for excellence even after achieving so much. Selfish enough to set new standards, selfish enough to ensure his team’s victory. Yes, Kohli is selfish.
Hafeez placed the gun on Stokes’ shoulder and fired
This time Mohammad Hafeez has fired the gun by placing it on the shoulder of England’s legendary player Ben Stokes. Ben Stokes pulled his team out of difficult times against Netherlands and played a brilliant century. On this, Hafeez wrote on the It is good to start the innings under pressure, where in the end it was necessary with aggressive intent to score maximum runs to help the team win. The only example to understand selfish vs selfless.
This time not Venkatesh Prasad but Michael Vaughan has given a befitting reply to Hafeez. Responding to this, Vaughan wrote, ‘Brilliant innings from Stokesy, like Virat Kohli did on a difficult pitch against a better attack in Kolkata.’
