Former Indian flamboyant batsman VVS Laxman explained the difference between Virat Kohli and other batsmen. Virat Kohli was the standout in the first Test match at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The Indian skipper scored 200 runs in the opening Test and looked a class apart as compared to other batsmen.
On the other hand, other Indian batsmen collectively scored 214 runs and failed to leave a mark. Therefore, Kohli was the lone warrior and India went on to lose the first Test by 31 runs.
Kohli scored a majestic knock of 149 in the first innings and backed it with another 51 in the second dig. Therefore, the difference between Kohli’s class and other batters was palpable.
Virat Kohli was the cynosure of all eyes at Edgbaston.
