Virat Kohli’s scintillating 149 in the first Test against England provides just the kind of inspiration that a struggling Indian batting line-up needed, feels West Indian great Chris Gayle.
“I was busy with a shoot in Mumbai and only watched the highlights. It was a captain’s knock from Virat. The best part was how he batted with the tail. That is the perfect start you want in a series,” Gayle told during an interaction at a promotional event on poker.
“A knock like this, especially from the captain and lot have been said about his form in England and hopefully this knock will spur him and the team during the series,” he added.
Asked about the current West Indies team, Gayle named three players as future stars.
“Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope and Evin Lewis are the three players to watch out for,” he said.
