England’s all-rounder Ben Stokes heaped praise on Virat Kohli ahead of the semi-final clash against India and said that the star Indian batter can never be written off given his performances, during a press conference in Adelaide on Tuesday. Stokes was referring to the recent slump that Kohli had gone through before surging back into form in the World Cup.
“He has earned the right to be never written off. He has produced the numbers consistently in all three formats. We as players playing the game, never take the past results in the coming games,” said the England all-rounder.
When asked about the form of World No 1 T20I batter Suryakumar Yadav and England’s plan to counter the batsman, he said, “He has come in and set the world alight. He is a fantastic player. He plays shots that leave you scratching your head sometimes. He is in great form but we will try and get him down not allow him to get into the run pages.”
England will lock horns with India at the Adelaide Oval on November 10 for a spot in the finals of the T20 World Cup 2022.
