Champions Trophy: You Just Can’t Build Pressure On Kohli, Says Agar
Champions Trophy: Bowlers often struggle to tie Virat Kohli down in ODI cricket, and according to Australian spinner Ashton Agar, one of the key reasons is his unmatched ability to rotate the strike.
Speaking after India's semi-final victory in the Champions Trophy, Agar described Kohli’s innings of 84 as a "masterclass" in game management, highlighting how his ability to find gaps and keep the scoreboard moving makes it nearly impossible to build pressure.
"That’s the frustrating part about bowling to him," Agar said on ESPNcricinfo’s Match Day show. "It’s not just the damage he does with boundaries—it’s the fact that you can’t build pressure on him. You never really feel like you’re on top of him unless the ball is really spinning. And you don’t get a lot of pitches like that in one-day cricket."
