The last part of Kohli’s innings shows us the decadence and selfishness of a cricketer. Umesh Yadav and Shami, who came in following Ashwin’s exit, know how to bat.
At that time the team needed 35-45 quick runs. It might have been achieved through normal shot play on this flat pitch. But Kohli, who had reached 180s, lost his mind following his personal achievement of a double century.
Umesh was run out by Kohli, all the fielders were standing on the boundary and either I got a double century or the team all out and got out.
A player should prioritize the interests of the team over personal gain. Not forgetting that Kohli had played well for the team till then. But those 180s might have shown a little more wisdom and maturity.
