IND vs WI: Kohli Praises Vihari, Terms Him Found Of The Series

His remarks came after India's 257-run victory over Windies in the second Test of the two-match series here at Sabina Park

After winning the two-match Test series against Windies, skipper Virat Kohli praised batsman Hanuma Vihari, saying the player was the find of the series for the team. His remarks came after India's 257-run victory over Windies in the second Test of the two-match series here at Sabina Park. With this win, Kohli became the most successful Indian Test captain, surpassing MS Dhoni. “I think the find of the series has to be Hanuma Vihari. The way he has batted under pressure especially, his skills were outstanding, his temperament was top-notch. Bowlers were outstanding. Ajinkya Rahane came back into form and it was very pleasing to see,” Kohli told reporters. The Indian skipper also praised pacer Jasprit Bumrah and went on to call him one of the ‘most complete bowlers in world cricket’ at present. He also said that the bowling attack of the current Indian team hunts in packs and that is very pleasing to see as a captain. The 25-year-old Bumrah scalped six wickets in the first innings, including a hat-trick, and became the third Indian to achieve the feat after Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan. “We are very lucky to have Jasprit Bumrah. Very rarely you find a pack of bowlers who are hunting together. If you see Bumrah today, he had a bit of a niggle, but other bowlers stepped up. When Bumrah gets momentum, you know what he can do. He was ruled as the T20 specialist when he came in, but he has proven people wrong. He has shown there is no set template in world cricket, if you have the right attitude, you can excel in any format,” Kohli said. “I have not seen many spells as Bumrah bowled in the first innings. Standing at slips, you can feel for the batsmen because Bumrah bowls with such precision. He has to be one of the most complete bowlers in world cricket today. He wants to be the best bowler in the world, he takes control of his diet, his skills," he added.
