Gautam Gambhir backs Virat Kohli to come back to his vintage best ahead of Test series against New Zealand 

There is something in Virat Kohli which makes him a great player. Call it the aggressive style of batting, his hunger for scoring runs or scoring them against tough opposition and in big matches, Virat Kohli can ace them all to perfection. On the field, he always puts a price on his wicket and thrives to make a contribution with the bat for his team. 

Kohli, who last scored a fifty against South Africa in December 2023 will be looking to regain his form in the upcoming series against New Zealand. 

With the big Australia Series around the corner, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir has backed Virat to find form and score big against New Zealand 

"See, my thoughts about Virat have always been very clear that he is a world-class cricketer. He has performed for such a long period of time. He is as hungry as when he made his debut. To now, his hunger is always there," Gambhir said.

"That hunger is what makes him a world-class cricketer. I am sure that he will be hungry to get runs in this series and probably moving forward to Australia as well," he added.

The first test match between India and New Zealand starts tomorrow at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
