Virat Kohli, according to Parthiv Patel and Tamim Iqbal, is under more pressure than the other three members of the Fab Four—Steve Smith, Joe Root, and Kane Williamson. During the longest format of the game, Kohli has been going through a difficult time.
According to Parthiv Patel and Tamim Iqbal, Virat Kohli is under more pressure than the other three members of the Fab Four. The group of players known as the “Fab Four” includes Joe Root, Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, and Virat Kohli. These players are regarded as the greatest of the modern era. Kohli hasn’t had the greatest of times in Tests compared to the other three; since 2023, he has only scored two hundred and two fifties.
Before the Kanpur Test began, Parthiv and Tamim were questioned about whether or not Kohli had been under pressure lately. The former wicketkeeper claimed that he doesn’t experience pressure when playing and that Williamson, Root, and Smith don’t experience the same things as the Indian player.
Because of the bar he has set for himself, Parthiv believes that Kohli is under a great deal of expectation.
He shouldn’t be under so much pressure, in my opinion. And as you quite correctly pointed out, I don’t think Smith, Joe Root, or Williamson can even begin to imagine the kind of pressure he must be under.
There is a great deal of strain from expectations. He has raised the bar so high that it is perceived as a failure even if he receives a 60 or 70. We want him to get a perfect score every time he goes in. Parthiv stated, “We expect him to play with that kind of intensity, which he has always played.”
Parthiv stated that as long as Kohli is playing Tests, he will always have a burning desire to perform.
However, you also need to acknowledge that even if he is growing older, Virat Kohli’s passion for playing Test cricket and doing well will always endure. However, I don’t believe he would be under that much pressure to succeed. However, because of the bar he has established, people always have great expectations of us, Parthiv remarked.
Kohli has won white-ball cricket matches on his own alone.
Tamim cited the Fab Four’s white-ball cricket stats to support his assertion that Kohli had won more matches for his team on his own than Smith, Root, and Williamson combined.
In addition, I believe that the Fab 4 that we are discussing have excelled in Test match cricket. Since it is practically impossible for a batter to win a game by himself in a Test match of cricket. Everything is in two innings.
However, in white-ball cricket, they are also known as the “Fab 4.” I’m very confident that none of the other three has won as many games as Kohli has for India, both in terms of his accomplishments and the number of games he has won on his own. Tamim continued, “And as you mentioned, I believe that the three of them do not have comparable pressure because of the amount of pressure he experiences.”
In the Kanpur Test, Kohli will be looking to get back to his previous level of performance.
