‘I expect Kohli to score at least one century in the series’ – Wasim Jaffer
Wasim Jaffer is confident that Virat Kohli will achieve a century in the upcoming ODI series against Australia. He based this on Kohli’s impressive form vs. the Aussies and his outstanding overall performance in this format of the game. He stated:
“I would say there is no competition in one-day cricket for Virat Kohli. I expect Virat Kohli to get at least one century in this series and it might be a failure based on his standards if he doesn’t. While I anticipate one century, but he has the potential to score even two. He also likes playing against Australia and when he has form, it continues for a long time. So, fingers crossed, we get to see his centuries.”
“This is the final chance for a while for all the Indian cricketers to play together. It is also a great opportunity for the team to show they are firm favorites to win the World Cup. Hence, they will want to perform strongly before the season finishes.”
