The Story in Brief
Former South Africa batsman Daryll Cullinan has said Virat Kohli changed the mood of Indian cricket by embodying a new era of aggression and fitness. In an exclusive interview with Sports Now, Cullinan praised Kohli's relentless hunger and said he could play for another three to four years if the desire remains.
Cullinan believes the ODI World Cup remains Kohli's main target, but warned that he cannot rely on reputation alone. He must play enough competitive cricket, whether international or domestic, to stay battle-hardened for the tournament.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that Kohli is past his best ignores his stellar IPL form and Cullinan's assessment of his hunger. But his Test dip is real. The one-sided focus on IPL alone misses the point: the World Cup requires ODI match practice. The concrete test is whether Kohli plays domestic one-day tournaments or bilateral ODIs in the lead-up. That will settle the question of his readiness.
