“The problem is that we only think of his 100s,” Yuzvendra Chahal says of Virat Kohli. Chahal believes that it is more than just tons that matter, and that Kohli has made several significant contributions during this time period.
Yuzvendra Chahal has a lot of experience playing with Virat Kohli. Aside from their time together for India, Chahal spent eight years at Royal Challengers Bangalore before being acquired by Rajasthan Royals in the most recent Indian Premier League season. Kohli has been in the spotlight for an extended lean patch and a three-year period without an international century, but the star leg-spinner believes that it’s not just tons that matter, and that Kohli has made several valuable contributions during that time.

Yuzvendra Chahal says on Virat Kohli
“He has a 50+ average in T20Is, has been named Man of the Tournament in two T20 World Cups, and has 70 hundreds across all formats. You can see his average across all formats, but the problem is that we only think about his 100s and ignore those valuable contributions of 60-70 because of the standards he has set “Chahal stated in an interview with Sports Yaari.
“If he’s at the crease with 15-20 runs behind him, I’m telling you no bowler wants to bowl to him,” he continued.
Chahal also discussed playing under the captaincy of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
“Under different captains, my role has always been the same: I am a wicket-taking bowler. They are all the same to me. As a bowler, I now have the freedom. They always prefer to do what I want. Rohit bhaiya occasionally asks me, “This is the situation, what will you do?” You know, as a bowler, you can’t be relaxed in any over “Chahal stated.
