Wesley Hall Gifts Book to Virat Kohli, Praises Indian Cricketers

Ahead of India's Super 8 clash against Afghanistan in the ongoing T20 World Cup, legendary West Indian fast bowler Wesley Hall met with Indian batting star Virat Kohli and presented him with a copy of his book, "Answering to the Call."

Hall, known for his blistering pace during his playing days, expressed his admiration for Kohli, calling him a "great player" and wishing him continued success with the Indian team. The book, published in November 2022, chronicles Hall's illustrious cricketing career and his journey to becoming one of the most feared pacers in the game's history.

In addition to Kohli, Hall also gifted copies of his book to Indian head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma. "I gave three books today. I gave a book to the captain, another one to the coach, and Virat Kohli. All three of them are great players. It's good to see people getting rewarded. Sometimes, you are a good player, and you haven't made it. I think they have done very well for India," Hall told ANI.

Hall, now 86 years old, revealed that he closely follows Kohli's statistics and expressed his hope that the Indian batter would reach the milestone of 100 international centuries. "I follow your stats, so I know you're on some 80 centuries. Get 100 centuries," Hall said to Kohli.

India, who won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, will be eager to improve upon their performance in the previous edition, where they failed to reach the final. The team has been in impressive form in the group stage of the ongoing tournament and will look to maintain their unbeaten record as the competition intensifies.
