‘Virat Kohli will play for next 2-3 years’:Navjot Singh Sidhu breaks silence on India legend’s on-field brilliance; explains Rohit’s reaction on Kohli’s ton

Virat Kohli’s remarkable comeback in the past six months, capped by a stunning century against Pakistan, has convinced former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu that the star batter will continue playing for another two to three years. Sidhu believes Kohli, often called a ‘once-in-a-generation cricketer’, still has many milestones left to achieve. India defeated Pakistan by six wickets on Sunday in Dubai. With his recent performance, Kohli has once again silenced his critics and reminded the world why he remains one of the greatest cricketers of his generation. Fans will now eagerly wait to see what new records he sets in the coming years. Kohli’s century seals India’s victory In a high-stakes match against Pakistan, Kohli smashed an unbeaten century, his 51st in ODIs, to help India secure a six-wicket win. The victory also virtually confirmed India's spot in the Champions Trophy semifinals. Praising Kohli’s performance, Sidhu said on JioHotstar, “Character is not made in a crisis, it is exhibited. Kohli is a man with pedigree and passion. After this 100, I can say with conviction that he will play for another two or three years and score another 10-15 centuries.” Proving his critics wrong Kohli has faced criticism in recent years, especially in Test cricket, where his performances dipped after 2020. Some even questioned his place in the red-ball team following India's losses to New Zealand and Australia. However, Sidhu emphasised that great players prove their worth in difficult times. “The ultimate test for any player is how they handle adversity. Kohli embraced the challenge and responded in style,” he said. Fastest to 14,000 ODI runs During his match-winning knock, Kohli also reached a historic milestone, becoming the fastest batter to score 14,000 ODI runs. Sidhu highlighted Kohli’s mastery in pressure situations, saying, “He averages nearly 90 in successful chases. The tougher it gets, the more he thrives. That is the hallmark of a great cricketer.” A moment of team spirit One of the most heartwarming moments of the match came when Kohli was on 96, and India needed just two runs to win. The camera captured captain Rohit Sharma, who playfully gestured for Kohli to finish the match with a six. Sidhu praised this moment of team spirit, saying, “When Virat scored that 100, look at Rohit Sharma’s beaming face. No one can whistle a symphony alone; it takes an orchestra. Cricket is a team game, and when the team takes pride in a fellow player’s achievement, it’s a great sign.”Original Article
