“Oh yeah, phenomenal! I think the way he has played in each and every series, the kind of intensity he has maintained each and every day when he’s on the cricket field is unbelievable,” Laxman said while speaking on Star Sports show Cricket Connected.
“Because at some stage I thought that will be the biggest challenge for Virat Kohli, at some stages he will burn out, but not even once we have seen that energy drop-down when Virat is on the cricket field, whether he is batting or he is fielding,” he added.
“And under pressure, because if you see his one-day record, how many hundreds did he get while chasing and then you know that you’ve got a target to achieve, there’s always a scoreboard pressure on him, but he relishes pressure, he relishes responsibility and that’s what gets the best out of him,” Laxman said
Gambhir completely agreed and joined Laxman gave all the praise for the Indian skipper “You can take anything, you can actually do whatever you want, but the best feeling in the world is, when you score that last run and come back to your hotel room and you’re so satisfied that you’ve done something for your country, what you were meant to do,” Gambhir said.
Virat Kohli and the boys won the third ODI and went on to win the 1st T20 in the three-match series. Ravindra Jadeja was brilliant with the bat to help India reach a fighting total and the spinners, Washington Sundar and Yuzvendra Chahal did their job with the ball to halt the hosts.
