Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has drawn a massive comparison between veteran India batter Virat Kohli and legend Don Bradman as well. His comments came after Virat Kohli’s gesture towards the crowd in the second ODI of the three-match series against Australia at the Adelaide Oval as well.

Chopra said [Via his X account]: “Goodbye Adelaide. As Virat Kohli walked out after getting out, at the end he made that gesture to the crowd to say thank you, perhaps to make them realize that this is it. Virat Kohli will no longer be seen playing international cricket on this ground. And this is the ground that was probably his favorite across the three formats. He scored runs here, competed as captain in matches here. In fact, it was said that although it’s far from home, it felt like home.”

The veteran further compared the Indian veteran to Don Bradman, saying how Kohli’s failure to open his account was similar to that of the legendary cricketer, who also failed to score in his final Test as well.

Chopra said: “But in the end, he couldn’t open his account on that ground. And do you know whose memory came to mind? Sir Don Bradman’s. And this is actually his ground. This city belongs to him. The last match he played, he needed just four runs. If he had scored them, he would have retired with an average of 100. But he couldn’t open his account then. And here, the Don of ODI cricket couldn’t open his account in his last match at this very venue. It’s a little poetic, but the truth is there are no goodbyes in goodbyes, you know.”

“And also a reminder someone once said very well, you are remembered for how you lived, not for how you died. And what’s the context of this? What happened in the last match? You won’t remember that in the end. You will be remembered for what you did before, when you were in your prime, when you came to this ground and conquered it. Adelaide will miss you, Virat Kohli,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
