average players look at average: mohammad rizwan makes big ‘virat kohli’ remark
As far as cricketing records go, there is no match for Virat Kohli in the current generation. The former Indian captain is head and shoulders above his colleagues from across the globe and has dominated all three formats of the game for more than a decade.
In fact, Kohli, until a couple of years ago, held the undisputed distinction of averaging more than 50 with the bat in each format. While Kohli still holds that distinction in both ODIs and T20Is for India, he is not too far away from the same feat in Test cricket with a current average of 49.1.
Talking about his different roles for the team in ODI and T20I cricket for the Men in Green, star Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan made a big remark by giving the example of Kohli. Rizwan stressed that it is only average players who look at their averages.
“Firstly the teams that you are representing keep that [role] in front and if you think of yourself in that case… like players who think like let me save myself, he won’t go far. Those players who look at averages are average players. If someone is performing it will be there in the stats for people to see, like say India’s Virat Kohli, he is getting his average higher but he is not focusing on that because average players looks at average and big players will look at the team and the situation and my focus remains on what is the requirement of the team,” said Rizwan to Cricbuzz.
“The team says Rizwan look at board and play accordingly. I maintain the same thing in my own life too but it is not easy. In T20 playing the new ball and in ODI go after 25 overs when the ball is a bit old that is not easy and it is a mind game,” Rizwan added.
Rizwan has been one of the most consistent players in white-ball cricket in recent years. He opens the batting for Pakistan in T20Is and has formed a very successful pair alongside Babar Azam. However, he bats at number four in ODIs and had an impressive 2023 World Cup campaign.
