Virat Kohli brings ‘theatre’ to cricket: Pat Cummins after winning Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Live Mint  

After winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Australian skipper Pat Cummins has lauded Virat Kohli, calling him a great competitor who brings a unique energy to cricket. Speaking to the media after Australia’s 3-1 Test series win over India, Cummins acknowledged Kohli’s impact on the game, saying he adds “theatre” to cricket. It’s always a bit of added theatre, which is sometimes good and sometimes can rile up the opposition, which I’m sure a part of his plan,” Cummins told the media. Reflecting on the possibility of Kohli’s last Test series in Australia, Cummins said it would be unfortunate if that were the case, as Kohli has been one of the “star” batters of the last decade.
