In what can be a big setback to the Indian cricket team, all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, due to his ankle injury, will not play against West Indies (WI) in the World Twenty20 semi-finals on Thursday. However, Ayaz Memon, Senior Journalist & Commentator, bets on Virat Kohli and says there could be no man better than Kohli to play a match winning inning under pressure. Despite this, comparing him to Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar at this stage seems a little flawed, he adds.Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Memon says he bets on Indian cricket team as it has a better attack and quality players than its opponents. Calling Chris Gayle a 'threat', Memon says Gayle batting for 10-12 overs coupled with Dwayne John Bravo's bowling in death overs of a match can take away the game from opponents. Hence, comparing Kohli with Gayle cannot be a mere Superman versus Batman annotation, he adds.In addition, he highlights that 8 of the 11 players in the WI team are better acquainted with Indian players and India's conditions as they have played Indian Premiere League (IPL) for the past three years.
