Mark my words, Virat Kohli will make 400 plus in a Test match: Kapil Dev

“Mark my words. Virat Kohli will make 400 plus in a Test match,” Kapil Dev wrote in an article describing the current Indian test skipper as the one who may be destiny’s child in having been born at about the right time to become the world’s finest triple-format batsman.

“Remember I said this first,” Kapil went on while prophesying that he may overhaul Brian Lara’s Test record. “At his age, Sachin Tendulkar was more talented. But then he had that mental block. He would get to a hundred and then get into a rut,” India’s finest all-rounder described the Kohli.

Kapil praised Kohli as a far more evolved batsman. The legendary all-rounder feels that Kohli honed his approach in the true age of attacking cricket and feels that Kohli is a creature of the age who can make multiple Test hundreds and threatened current batting records.

“There has been a tremendous improvement in Kohli. Still, I would say Sachin was more talented. But Kohli is the type who will tear an attack apart. With so many Test matches coming up this season (17 featuring India) I am sure Kohli will find the perfect pitch to his liking on which he could threaten the world record 401. I know many pitches will be turners in the home season, but I am sure Kohli will get one or two perfect pitches. I am sure one day soon the record will be in danger.”

“Exactly. That makes my point. These guys can score at astonishing speed.” Truly, Kapil is an ardent admirer of the day’s attacking cricket as he is of Kohli’s positive intent at the batting crease, which is what makes his Kohli prophecy so believable.
