No doubt
Virat Kohli
is the best batsman of this generation. But lately in the
T20 World Cup
he is out of colour. He has had an underwhelming tournament this year. Scoring a meagre 66runs in 6 innings at an average of just 11.00 which includes two ducks.
Though he has been the highest run getter in this year’s edition of IPL, opening for his team with Faf du Plesis he is not looking comfortable opening for India.
He’s playing shots which we haven’t seen him play. Every person has limitations and the greats of any business know how to deal with them. Virat Kohli is not a swashbuckling opener like
Rohit Sharma
, but he is trying to be one and hence this calamity. I think he should get back to his position and do what he has done for years so comfortably. Big players rise to the occasion, and I feel the same for Virat. Now that India is in the semis Virat Kohli will find his form and show his class. As we all know, form is temporary while class is permanent. – Saurav Das, actor
Virat’s slow batting was criticized in IPL but still he was the highest scorer and improved his strike rate considerably in the later phase of IPL. Coming to the ongoing world cup, it's true that Kohli has not lived up to his potential and there is no specific reason as such behind that. Maybe number three would have been a better batting position for him on these slow pitches to build the innings. He is a
big match player
, and he is going to perform in the semis/finals. This might be the last time we are seeing the King in India colors in T20 format so let's just celebrate the man – Ananda S Choudhuri, actor
Let’s not worry about Virat Kohli’s form now as we all know that he has set his standard so high that in a couple of innings he doesn’t score runs, people get worried and start questioning his calibre. But he is a run machine and a big match player. Big match player comes with a powerful performance in the big stages. The group matches were big games, but the real matches will be the finals and the
semifinals
. I have full confidence in him, and we will be at his best in the coming matches. He can think of playing till the 14-15th over like he usually does. Once the innings get started, then he can accelerate in the later five overs – Manoj Tiwary, Indian Cricketer
