'Virat Kohli has played 5 more innings than Steve Smith and...': Ex-opener sums up IND great's decline

Hindustan Times  

Steve Smith scored his 36th Test century as he and Usman Khawaja powered a dominant performance from Australia in the first of the two-match series in Sri Lanka. Steve Smith now has five career Test centuries than Virat Kohli Former India opener Aakash Chopra has pointed out that Smith now has five more centuries than Virat Kohli despite the latter having played five more innings in his career. Kohli's decline in Test cricket the last five years has led to him falling behind the rest of his fab 4 contemporaries - Smith, England's Joe Root and New Zealand's Kane Williamson. "If I see Virat Kohli here, he has played 210 innings, which means he has played five more innings than Steve Smith and has five centuries fewer than him. Earlier, former batter Mohammed Kaif, who was in the Uttar Pradesh team that faced Delhi in Kohli's last Ranji Trophy match, said that the former captain returning to the tournament is good news for everyone and he is hoping that the latter can get a couple of good knocks under his belt before going to the 2025 Champions Trophy.
