However, in all the excitement for the Asia Cup, there’s a concern over Virat’s performance. The batter has faced quite a tough time struggling with his form and his bat is silent from a long time. Coming to the Asia Cup after a hiatus from the game, hopes are high for Kohli to make a blazing comeback and claim his true dominance in the game.
However, till that happens, a lot of talks have been doing rounds everywhere. Many people have weighed in their opinions over Kohli’s form including ex and current cricketers. Not to mention, the fans and critics have pitched in their ideas, flooding social media. All in all, there now exist a ray of opinion over Virat Kohli and his game.
But now Virat Kohli has himself addressed the issue and iterated that he’s aware of all the aspects. “I know where my game stands and you cannot run this far in your international career without having the ability to counter situations and counter conditions and counter different kinds of bowling. So, this for me, is an easier phase to process, but I don’t want to put this phase behind me,” Kohli said.
“What happened in England was a pattern, so something that I could work on and something that I had to kind of overcome. Right now, as you rightly mentioned, there is nothing that you can point out saying that the problem is happening here,” Kohli explained.
Moreover, Virat Kohli stated that this isn’t the first time he’s facing a struggle with his game in his long career. However, he knows the problem and would keep the learnings gained from this phase. “I know there are ups and downs, and when I come out of this phase, I know how consistent I can be. My experiences are sacred to me. Whatever I have experienced in this phase or in the past, as well one thing that I can. So, this for me, is an easier phase to process, but I don’t want to put this phase behind me. I want to learn from it and I want to understand what are the core values that I have, as a sportsperson and as a human being,” Kohli added.
