Virat Kohli’s poor form remains the main topic of discussion among cricket fans and cricket experts. Fans are questioning when will Kohli’s rain of runs return? When will he be able to overcome the problem of tampering with balls outside the off-stump? Perhaps Virat Kohli himself is searching for answers to these questions.
Former Indian fast bowler Atul Wasan believes that BCCI should soon prepare an exit plan regarding Kohli.
“No one knows what is going on in Kohli’s mind”: Atul Wasan
Atul Wasan said about the current situation of Virat Kohli:
- “A player is mentally strong and hopes that his form comes back in the very next match.”
- He said, “Virat Kohli understands what is happening to him, but he always thinks about the well-being of the team.”
- Wasson also added that “no one knows what is going on in Kohli’s mind at this moment.”
BCCI should make an exit plan
Atul Wasan suggested that BCCI should work on an exit plan or succession policy for Virat Kohli.
- “It is important for the current team and cricket structure.”
- “It would not be right for the current management to ignore such issues.”
Virat’s poor form increases concern
- Kohli had scored a century in the second innings of the recently concluded Perth Test, but this series was very disappointing for him.
- Kohli has been able to score only 167 runs in 7 innings of the current series.
- In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where Kohli has always scored centuries and half-centuries, this time his bat remained silent.
- Kohli could score only 41 runs in both the innings of Melbourne Test.
What is the way forward?
Experts and fans are worried about Kohli’s decline in form.
- Kohli’s confidence and mental strength will play an important role in his comeback.
- BCCI and team management should help Kohli to come out of this phase.
