Shastri says India should not allow Virat Kohli to falter. Kohli will be able to stay in cricket for another six or seven years. The service of a batsman like Kohli is still needed so do not push the player under pressure. Kovid in particular is making life difficult for 19 bio-bubble players. Shastri said Kohli needs rest at this juncture.
Kohli is dismissed for most of his matches for throwing wickets unnecessarily. The number of critics has also increased since the player was knocked out of the Golden Duck once morest Lucknow. Shastri said that when he was the coach he used to talk to the players regarding the need for rest and if any player needs rest now it is Kohli.
It’s okay to take a month or two of rest. You can stay away from the England tour if you want. He needs rest to stay on the field for another six years. Ravi Shastri suggested that Kohli should think regarding this. Virat Kohli, who has vacated his captaincy in all formats of international cricket, remains the only player in the IPL. Kohli was expected to perform well as the captaincy pressure eased but the result was disappointing.

Kohli has scored just 119 runs in 7 matches in the current IPL season. The average is 19.83. Kohli faded but RCB won 5 of seven matches. Criticism of Kohli is also on the rise on Twitter. There are many who agree with Shastri’s observation that Kohli should rest. Former cricketer Kevin Pietersen has also suggested that Kohli should retire from cricket.
