Mott’s Analysis of Kohli: England vs India Semifinal

Mott pointed out Kohli’s consistent ability to deliver in crucial matches. He highlighted that Kohli’s experience and versatility make him a formidable opponent. Mott is particularly wary of Kohli’s game intelligence and his capacity to adapt his playing style to the needs of the match.

“Virat has proven his class over a very long period of time and he is one of the players we’ve prepared well for.
