Former Team India cricketer Virender Sehwag praised Virat Kohli for the impact of both on the field and outside between India and England on the field. Sehwag recalled the major moments by Australian cricketer Steve Smith and Afghanistan’s fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq, including Kohli’s gestures.
Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on 12 May, Rohit Sharma a few days after taking the same decision. Kohli captained the team in 68 tests and inspired him to win 40 – most by any Indian captain. The 36 -year -old struggled to score runs with an average of 22.47 during the 2024/25 Test season.
Crowd went to cheer for him from Boeing – Virender Sehwag
Virender Sehwag said that fans actually listen to Virat Kohli and reply. Sehwag remembered how Kohli told the audience to show the honor instead to prevent Steve Smith from provoking while returning from a ban.

He also said that Kohli intervened during the 2023 World Cup, when the mob had geared up Naveen-ul-Haq. Kohli’s gesture quickly turned Bose into applause. Sehwag said that Kohli’s appearance and leadership is beyond the game.
“You will remember that when Steve Smith returned from his ban and fans were inciting him, it was Virat Kohli, who asked him not to appreciate the crowd but to appreciate him. The same happened with Naveen-ul-Haq during the 2023 World Cup, the same happened, Virat stepped, and within a few minutes, the crowd said that she left for the key.”
Virat Kohli praised Steve Smith and Naveen-ul-Haq for sportsmanship
Virat Kohli earned widespread praise to defend Steve Smith during the 2019 World Cup. Smith, who was returning from a one-year ban after the 2018 ball-tramping scandal, was continuously provoked by the English mob. Kohli pointed the crowd to stop Jering and appreciated Smith instead.
Another notable incident related to Kohli took place during the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. After an IPL spat between Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq, the tension was online. However, he was seen exchanging a smile and shaking hands after the match between India and Afghanistan in Delhi.
Virat Kohli has seen both high and ups and climbs in his test career in England
Virat Kohli has seen both high and climb in his test career in England. During his debut tour in 2014, he scored just 134 runs in five matches at a dismal average of 13.40. However, he scored 593 runs at an impressive average of 59.30 in 2018, including two centuries.

Kohli scored an average of 249 runs on an average of 27.66 during his final Red-Ball series in England. India has been playing its first such series without Kohli since 2011.
