IND vs AUS: Mark Waugh has targeted Virat Kohli’s catching in Nagpur after he dropped three catches in the ongoing Test series against Australia. In the first 2 tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Mark Waugh ruffled up some feathers. Fellow commentators, Ravi Shastri and Dinesh Karthik’s, growing closeness led to some controversies. It is believed that the association could have played a part in the BCCI not extending Waugh’s contract for the remaining two Tests. He has been replaced by Mitchell Johnson in Indore.
Besides Verbal confrontations, Waugh has targetted Virat Kohli’s Catch in Nagpur after the former captain dropped 3 catches. in the first innings, Virat dropped the catch of Steve Smith, when he was batting on six, and in the second, grassed a chance of David Warner and Pater Handscomb each.
The Former Australia opener told star sports “Fielding at slip off the spinners, you got to judge the depth you want to stand. I felt that the catch that Kohli put down, he was rushed into taking the catch. I think there are a few technical things that Kohli can work on. I think his feet are too wide apart. His weight is often on the back of his heels rather than on his feet. Sometimes, he looks like he is not expecting the ball. He has got to be expecting the ball every single delivery,”.
However, Waugh acknowledged that while he did raise questions over the catching, he never questioned or said anything about Kohli’s batting.
during a recent interview with Fox Cricket Waugh said “I wasn’t sledding his batting. I was sledding his catching, which he did improve actually. He worked hard on it. But I cannot believe that Virat Kohli hasn’t scored a century in 39 innings,”. “The way he has batted and even his catching it shows that he has felt the pressure, no doubt about it. He is a great player so he is not used to not scoring runs but I did feel like that in Delhi he was getting back to his best.”
