Eoin Morgan on Virat Kohli’s brilliance in the game
The 2019 World Cup-winning captain discussed how Virat Kohli’s presence in the dressing room in the ODI World Cup will make a big difference to the energy of the squad along with the captain Rohit Sharma.
“He is a phenomenal player. One of the best ever and one of the greatest I have seen. And the best thing about Kohli is the way he conducts himself off the field as well. He loves the big stage and if you are an opponent you don’t want to face him in a big stage like the World Cup for you know he will stand up and deliver for his team. He has this ability to make the big occasions count and we have seen that with him many times in the past,” said Eoin Morgan.
“Again, he is a leader in that group and his presence in the change room will make a big difference to Rohit Sharma. Also, there will be players who feel the nerve and with Kohli around there can be nothing better for them. He will give them the confidence they need and is a massive player for India in the World Cup. He harnesses all of the energy and hype around big games and uses all of it to make a difference. Very few players in my generation could do that. And he will want to win. He is that type of competitor and has that type of focus. He will want to lift that trophy”, added Eoin Morgan.
