Crew India’s head coach, Rahul Dravid, has dropped a touch that Virat Kohli might take up bowling duties within the remaining matches of the continuing 2023 World Cup, as they now face a scarcity of bowlers with Hardik Pandya dominated out.

Earlier, the previous India captain stepped in as a bowler in opposition to Bangladesh in Pune. When Hardik Pandya suffered an ankle harm after delivering simply three balls, Kohli took over and bowled the remaining three, conceding solely two runs.

Crew India is about to face off in opposition to South Africa on Sunday, November 5, on the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. They’re on a seven-match profitable streak, and they’re gunning to maintain it going. Nevertheless earlier than this showdown, the top coach, Rahul Dravid addressed the media.

Right here’s what he mentioned when requested about their sixth bowling possibility:

“Sure, we don’t have the sixth bowling possibility, however we have now a wrong-footed inswinger menace whom we are able to again for just a few overs. He was near bowl within the final sport with the gang pushing him.”

In the meantime, Virat Kohli will likely be celebrating his birthday as Crew India faces off in opposition to South Africa, with all eyes on him as he goals to equal Sachin Tendulkar’s file of 49 ODI centuries.
