In the previous T20 series as well, the player managed to score only one run in three balls and 11 runs in six balls in the two matches. Meanwhile, in the last 77 international innings, Kohli has not been able to see three figures.
Virat Kohli was the mainstay of Indian cricket until recently, but the star’s recent form has now caused concern in the cricketing world, leading to criticism and doubts regarding his place in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup in October.
But the former India captain has not lost faith in himself and is still holding his head high. The actor is optimistic that the winds of change will blow soon. The actor has shared a picture proving it on social media. Shared with the caption ‘Kazhapad’, the captions in the picture read, “What if I fall” and “Oh dear, what if you fly”. Kohli has shared a picture of himself posing in front of these words.
At the same time, cricketers including Kevin Pietersen and celebrities like Ranveer Singh have come to support Kohli by commenting on the picture. “What you have done in cricket for so many years can only be dreamed of by many.” Peterson commented. At the same time, Ranveer said that he was born to fly and never doubt him.
Kohli is currently part of the Indian team for the three-match ODI series in England. Kohli, who missed the first ODI due to a navel injury, was included in the squad for the second match at Lord’s Cricket Ground. But following the dismissal of captain Rohit Sharma in the third over, Kohli managed to score only 16 runs in 25 balls.
In the previous T20 series as well, the player managed to score only one run in three balls and 11 runs in six balls in the two matches. Meanwhile, in the last 77 international innings, Kohli has yet to see three figures.
Earlier, Pakistan star Babar Azam also came out in support of Kohli. “This time too will pass,” Babar shared the picture with Kohli.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma and Jos Buttler came out in support of Kohli. “Why is there a discussion regarding Kohli’s form? As said in the last press conference, one who has consistently performed well over a long period of time should not be measured by his poor scores in a few matches. We know the importance of Kohli,” Rohit said.
“A cricketer’s career is characterized by ups and downs. So his excellence does not disappear. Each star has some special talent. As a team we support that excellence. “Every star goes through bad times, it’s a part of life,” added Rohit.
“The criticism Kohli is facing is surprising. Understand that Kohli is also human and will get out on a low score. He is one of the best ODI players in the world. He has excelled over the years,” said Butler.
