'He Has The Gift Of Noticing Gaps': Laxman Hails Virat Kohli

Laxman said that at this stage of Kohli's career, the battle against one's own thought process becomes more crucial than against the bowlers

The unbeatable and unstoppable Virat Kohli scored his seventh double hundred in Tests and also secured 7000 runs in the format, courtesy his master class innings on Day 2 of the second Test vs Proteas. Former India player and Test specialist V.V.S. Laxman hailed Virat Kohli after the India skipper slammed a career-best unbeaten 254 on Friday. Laxman said that at this stage of Kohli's career, the battle against one's own thought process becomes more crucial than against the bowlers. "For a player like Kohli, batting at this level is like batting against your thought process and not against the bowlers," the 44-year-old said in a segment of Cricket Live exclusively aired on Star Sports. Laxman also said that Kohli's ability to pick the gaps on a consistent basis puts pressure on the opposition captain and bowlers. "I'm really impressed with his precise footwork and effective shot selection. It's amazing how he balances his stance, how he goes forward and plays the ball through the offside. He has the gift of noticing the gaps which puts pressure on the opposition captain and bowlers. He definitely had a different level of concentration today," Laxman said.
