Sunil Gavaskar says when Virat Kohli goes out, it’ll be on a high: ‘Do you think he’ll go out after scoring 0,0? No way’

Star batter Virat Kohli didn’t have the best of times in the Adelaide ODI as well where he registered his second consecutive 50-over duck against Australia on Thursday. Kohli was caught plumb off a delivery by Xavier Bartlett and when he was going out of the ground, he raised his gloves to acknowledge the crowd. With many speculating that Kohli’s gesture was because off an impending retirement, Sunil Gavaskar said there wasn’t too much to read into the gesture and Kohli will continue to play in the near future.

“No, no, no. Don’t read too much into that gesture. The ovation he got when he came to bat was great. There were Indian supporters as well as Australian supporters who gave him such a great ovation. Especially the Australian fans gave him such an ovation, he acknowledged them. Because from where the players come out, there’s a members’ enclosure. Members mean the people who have played first class cricket, test cricket. So he gave them that acknowledgement. Don’t read too much into it,” Gavaskar told Sports Tak.
