Former India off spinner Harbhajan Singh has urged Virat Kohli to spend time in the middle when he gets a chance to bat in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25 match between Delhi and Railways as well. Harbhajan further added that if Kohli bats well, he should be back among the runs.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Harbhajan Singh said: “When he goes out to bat, he should occupy the crease and spend three to four hours. Even if Virat scores zero, he will still be Virat Kohli. He will never be a lesser player. His achievements are very big. He should occupy the crease, and if he does that, he will score runs.”

Virat Kohli is a role model. Youngsters will look up to him. If he scores runs or doesn’t, it is a different matter. If I was Virat Kohli, it would be to enjoy. When we start playing cricket because we enjoy it. When you reach Virat’s level, the pressure and expectations take the front seat while enjoyment takes the back seat. I want him to enjoy the game and tell youngsters how to be Virat Kohli,” the former India spinner further added.
