Kohli's Brother Slams Cricket Expert's 'Easy Format' Comments

Virat Kohli's brother criticizes Sanjay Manjrekar's 'easiest format' comments about ODIs after Kohli's century. India lost series 2-1 to New Zealand.

Team India star Virat Kohli's brother, Vikas Kohli, recently made sarcastic remarks on social media, seemingly targeting former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar. These comments followed Virat's century in the third ODI against New Zealand, a match India ultimately lost by 41 runs, failing to chase a target of 338. Virat scored 124 off 108 balls in this fixture.

Vikas Kohli shared posts on Threads, questioning expert opinions that label ODI cricket as the easiest format for top-order batters. He implied that such claims overlook the actual challenges of performing consistently. This follows a similar sentiment expressed by Vikas after the series opener, where Virat narrowly missed a century, scoring 93.

Manjrekar had previously expressed disappointment that Virat Kohli was only playing ODIs, suggesting retirement from all formats might have been more appropriate. He notably stated that ODI is the easiest format for a top-order batter, contrasting it with Test cricket performances of players like Joe Root.
