Virat Kohli Bats for Reserve Day in Rain-Hit Test Matches
Virat Kohli rues the fact that more than 250 overs were lost owing to frequent rain during the one-off Test between hosts Bangladesh and India.
Left frustrated by rain interruptions which scuttled the chance of an outright result against Bangladesh in the one-off Test, Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli said on Sunday that it is not a bad idea to have reserve days for the longer-format games as well. (Match report)
More than 250 overs were lost owing to frequent rain during the match which ended in a draw and Kohli said like in the case of ODIs, the concept of reserve days can be given a try in Tests. (Also read: Ganguly backs Kohli's 'brave' decisions)
"That is a very debatable question but there can be a thought given to that. You might add another day seeing the situation of the game," Kohli said in the post-match press conference. "If there is a possible result, there is no harm in giving the team, which is dominating, a chance to compete in three sessions and go for a win or earn a draw so that the deserving team can get a result. But I am not sure how the discussions would go on this," he added.
