Australia off-spinner Steve O’Keefe revealed that dismissing Virat Kohli in the predominant Test of the 2017 Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Pune is his favourite dismissal from the longest format of the sport. In that match, O’Keefe scalped 6/35 in both innings, finishing with overall figures of 12/70 as Australia won by a whopping 333 runs.
“My most memorable (wicket) used to be presumably Virat Kohli in India. I knocked him over, we were playing on this absolute mud bowl of a wicket, it used to be spinning and ragging sideways. It used to be an absolute tip of a wicket, junk. Ravi Shastri described the wicket of getting dermatitis, it used to be that tainted, it had holes in it,” O’Keefe talked about on SEN 1170 The Bustle House point to.

O’Keefe, who performed correct 9 Checks for Australia, revealed what he did to bamboozle the Indian batters on a minefield of a pitch. “The Indian spinners came out in the predominant innings and were correct spinning it wildly, going to 2d crawl, bouncing off the heart — they were going in each location. Then I went out and build much less revs (on the ball) than the sector does a day, and besides they’re correct sliding on, I am correct getting LBWs with these non-turners.”
Speaking about his response when Kohli fashioned to leave his offer but lost his wicket as the ball came in to hit the stumps, O’Keefe remarked, “To top it off, Virat correct lets this ball crawl, it pitches originate air off, and I am intended to be spinning the ball (away) in the direction of first or 2d crawl. This thing correct persisted on with the angle, I am seeking to stride it and it be knocked out off-stump so I am cherish, ‘You class!’.”
After playing the predominant architect in a sensational care for shut at Pune, O’Keefe would possibly possibly possibly well well no longer replicate the performances in the following three fits as India won 2-1. He signed off by pronouncing that he used to be shopping for the 5-for balls from Pune someday of the final Test in Dharamsala.
“They gave me the ball at the tip of that for a 5-for. I talked about, ‘Boys, I develop no longer want the ball, there’s no longer any have to offer it to me, if you happen to are going to care for giving me these balls after 5-fors we are in a position to also no longer have anything left to coach with’. That used to be after the predominant Test, but someday of the fourth Test when I had 5 more wickets at 300, I was asking, ‘The set apart’s that ball at?’.”
