  1. 'Very tough to put him in there' no Kohli in Brad Hogg's WTC XI Brad Hogg has recently shared his World Test Championship XI where India captain Virat Kohli has found no place whereas he picked four other players from India. The inaugural edition of the WTC came to an end with New Zealand winning the coveted trophy by beating India. Image source by twitter Kohli scored 934 runs at an average of 42.45, with a best of unbeaten 254 not out in 15 games in the World Championship tournament. Meanwhile, Hogg chose Rohit Sharma as opener along with Sri Lanka’s Dimuth Karunaratne as his partner as well. Rohit has played 12 matches and scored 1094 runs which came at an average of more than 60 as well. “Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. He made four hundreds and two fifties. Yes, most of those runs were made in Indian conditions. Very rarely did you see bat away from home. So very tough to put him in there but the amount of runs he put on the board, I have to include him. He also did ok in the World Test Championship final under those tough conditions,” Hogg said in his YouTube video. Meanwhile New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, Steve Smith and Babar Azam filled the middle order in Hogg’s XI, getting the No. 3, 4 and 5 spots respectively, followed by England all-rounder Ben Stokes at No. 6 as well. The veteran selected India’s Rishabh Pant for the wicketkeeper’s slot at No. 7, who scored 707 runs from 12 Tests including one century and four half-centuries as well. Pant has been in sublime form ever since he has returned to the squad during the Australia series Down Under and then he maintained his form against England at home too. DFor the bowling department, spinner R Ashwin and fast bowler Mohammed Shami were the other two additions from India in his Playing XI. Referring to Ashwin the ‘best spinner in the world’ and Shami a ‘good engine’, Hogg feels that they both were deserving to be there for their brilliant show in the inaugural WTC as well.
