\u00a0Virat Kohli<\/a>\u2019s wrists and his leg-side play.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cI feel his wrists are incredible. The way he accesses the leg side.. I\u2019ve been growing up watching him play. Big idol,\u201d Konstas said on Kohli, with whom he had quite a few heated moments during the BGT.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the emotions got to both of us,\u201d Konstas later told Channel 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Apart from Kohli, Konstas said that he would love his dream batter to bat as long as Cheteshwar Pujara, who wore down the Australian bowlers with his perseverance at the crease and was instrumental in India winning two back-to-back BGTs in Australia in 2018\/19 and 2020\/21.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was so technically sound. Likes to bat for a long period and he has been very solid,\u201d he said of Pujara.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Apart from Pujara and Kohli, Konstas said that he would love Steve Smith\u2019s off-side play, and AB de Villers\u2019 aggressive and 360-degree stroke play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is the best in the world in my opinion and the one I look forward to bat together in the coming days,\u201d Konstas said of Smith.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He also added that he would like to have Jos Buttler\u2019s ramp shot, David Warner\u2019s running between the wickets, Usman Khawaja\u2019s composure and the aura of Shane Warne.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kohli\u2019s Wrists, Pujara\u2019s Perseverance, Smith\u2019s Offside Play: Konstas Creates His Dream Batter The young Aussie opener also mentioned…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213293,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-213292","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114744353396416257","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213292\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
