Kohli’s tons help India win matches, says coach Raj

New Delhi: Hailing ace batsman Virat Kohli’s 23rd ODI century against South Africa as a great achievement, his coach Raj Kumar Sharma on Friday said most of his centuries helped India win matches.

Earlier, Kohli slammed six fours and five sixes in his 138-run knock to help India claim a 35-run win over South Africa in the fourth ODI here on Thursday.

Raj also lashed out at Kohli’s critics, saying that their job is to criticize, adding that such criticisms had never bothered the 26-year-old batsman.

The coach doesn’t think that Kohli was out-of form as he was handling the ball quite well.

With the win, India levelled the five-match cricket series 2-2 and will play a series decider match against South Africa in Mumbai on Sunday.
