Kohli didn&#8217;t come out to bat in the first ODI, but he made his mark in the two-match Test series with a sizzling ton in the second Test match.\u00a0Speaking to &#8220;Khul Ke&#8221; on YouTube, Ambrose described the difference between Kohli and Rohit Sharma. &#8220;Very pleasant to watch, easy on the eyes, can score quickly, without getting aggressive. He is not like a six-hitter per se. Not that he can&#8217;t do it, he can score as quickly as guys you call six-hitters. But wonderful player as well. He is great to watch,&#8221; he said, describing Kohli&#8217;s style.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Kohli didn&#8217;t bat he made his presence felt by taking a sharp catch to dismiss Romario Shepherd.<\/p>\n<p>Romario Shepherd&#8217;s wicket was notable because the batter went for an expansive shot and paid the price by giving Virat Kohli a chance in the slip cordon. It was an incredible take from the former captain, who kept low and stretched his right palm in a display of quick reflexes.<\/p>\n<p>Virat will be looking to achieve a major milestone as he is just 102 runs away from completing 13,000 runs in the one-day format. He is the fourth-highest run-getter in ODI cricket history following legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara and Ricky Ponting.<\/p>\n<p>India will play the second ODI match on Saturday at the Kensington Oval Barbados.<\/p>\n<p><i>(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"tgs\">\n<p>Topics mentioned in this article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.ndtv.com\/cricket\/not-like-a-six-hitter-per-se-west-indies-legend-decodes-virat-kohlis-batting-style-4249927\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Virat Kohli in action for the Indian cricket team\u00a9 Twitter Former West Indies pacer Curtly Ambrose described stalwart batter Virat Kohli&#8217;s play as &#8220;pleasant to watch&#8221; ahead of the second ODI of India&#8217;s tour of West Indies.
