Mark Waugh has clarified his remarks about Virat Kohli that he made during commentary for the first two Border-Gavaskar Trophy Tests. He said that he was not criticizing the former captain’s batting and that his remarks were directed at his slip catching. Waugh was very critical of Kohli because, during the matches in Nagpur and Delhi, he dropped a few catches at slip, which upset a lot of fans of the Indian cricket team.
I felt like Kohli was rushed into taking the catch that he put down. Kohli may be able to work on a few technical issues, in my opinion. His feet are too far apart, in my opinion. Instead of balancing on his feet, he frequently places his weight on the heels. He occasionally gives the impression of not anticipating the ball.
According to Hindustan Times, the former opener has since clarified his remarks, stating that he was not referring to Kohli’s batting but rather his catching in slips, which Waugh believes the Indian star has improved.
After that, Waugh admitted that he was surprised to learn that Kohli has not scored a century in 39 Test innings. The former cricketer claimed that by the way Kohli was batting and fielding, he could see that he was under pressure.
“I couldn’t agree more…”: Mark Waugh discusses his disagreements with Karthik and Shastri on air.
I wasn’t shoving his bat at me. he was sledging his catch, which he actually got better at. He put in a lot of effort. However, Waugh stated on Fox Cricket, “I cannot believe that Virat Kohli has not scored a century in 39 innings.” He has clearly been under pressure, as evidenced by his batting and even his catching. However, I did feel like he was returning to his best in Delhi.
Mitchell Johnson, a former fast bowler for Australia, has taken Mark Waugh’s place in the commentary booth for the remaining two Test matches in the series in India.

The great Australian batsman Mark Waugh has been replaced in the commentary box by former fast bowler Mitchell Johnson for the remaining two Test matches in the series in India. Waugh had gotten into arguments with his coworkers, particularly Dinesh Karthik and Ravi Shastri, while he was working there. After Waugh had criticized Virat Kohli for his slip catching technique in the first Test, Karthik had taken to roasting Waugh, and there was one time when the conversation seemed to take a little bit of an angry turn.
The former batter was brought in to replace Michael Clarke, the former captain of Australia, who was let go after footage of a rather public fight with his girlfriend surfaced.
When Karthik began asking him questions about their disagreements regarding Australia’s field placements for Cheteshwar Pujara, the exchange between Waugh and Karthik appeared to have taken a negative turn. Waugh responded, “I didn’t know this was a press conference.” You will only be allowed one question per session, okay? I will limit your questions. No longer. The third commentator, Sanjay Manjrekar, then intervened to read the score.
