  • Former Australia wicketkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist has lauded India skipper Virat Kohli for his stance on Test cricket.

    In a recent interview with the Wisden Cricket Monthly, Kohli had described Test cricket as the ‘most beautiful’ format.

    “I think that if you really understand the sport, if you really love the sport, you understand Test cricket and you understand how exciting it is,” Kohli told Wisden Cricket Monthly.

    “I cannot explain to you the job satisfaction that you get when you do well in Test cricket, because you know how demanding it is.

    “It’s the most beautiful format of the game. I don’t think it’s going to go anywhere. I don’t even see it getting compressed to four days. It should not be tinkered with.”

    Gilchrist took to Instagram to laud Kohli’s remarks, calling his opinion one of the most important in cricket currently.

    “Pleasing remarks from Virat Kohli. Really, really pleasing remarks. Currently one of the most important opinions in the game and I like what he’s saying,” the Aussie wrote.

    Kohli is currently leading the run-scoring chart in India’s ongoing Test series against England with 486 runs in seven innings at an average just shy of 70. He is currently the No1 ranked batsman in both the Test and ODI formats.
