While some former cricketers believe the 3-2 loss against Australia in the recently concluded ODI series will come as an eye opener for India ahead of the World Cup 2019, former South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis said, it will have no impact on the side. Kallis, one of the greatest all-rounder of the game, maintained it by saying Kohli won’t be under pressure in the marquee tournament as he has “produced the goods time and again”.
“I don’t think Kohli will be under pressure. He has produced the goods time and time again. He is a world class player and the guys follow what he does. He is certainly one of the best in the world,” Kallis explained.
Kallis also refrained from answering if Kohli can break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 100 international centuries by saying only the India skipper can answer if he can.
“Kohli I believe can go as far as he wants to. He is a world class player. He is hungry. He works hard. He has proved that over the years.
The main thing about him is that he keeps it simple. People enjoy watching him bat,” said Kallis, one of the greatest all-rounders to have played the game.
