Whenever you start focusing only on bigger teams, an upset happens: Virat Kohli | Cricket-world-cup News

With the 2023 World Cup getting its fair share of upsets where Netherlands defeated an in-form South Africa and Afghanan getting one up on the defending champions England, India’s Virat Kohli is of the opinion that whenever the focus is on only the so called bigger teams, an upset is bound to happen.
“There are no big teams in the World Cup. Whenever you start focusing only on bigger teams, an upset happens,” Kohli said in an interview with Star Sports ahead of India’s match against Bangladesh on Thursday.
Speaking further about the threat posed Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al-Hasan, Kohli said, “Over the years, I’ve played a lot against him (Shakib). He’s got amazing control. He’s a very experienced bowler. He bowls very well with the new ball, knows how to deceive the batsman, and is also very economical.”Most Read
