Former India player Madan Lal thinks Virat Kohli might be lacking concentration, which is restricting him from playing big knocks.The talismanic run-scorer has gone past the 50+ run mark but has not scored a century since November 2019. Madan Lal, 1983 World Cup winner, believes the century drought might be there on Kohli’s mind every time he gets out to bat.
Speaking in this regard, Madanlal said “I watched his batting. I feel somewhere he is lacking his concentration. Question was, why did he go on backfoot? Might have been a mental block. But his batting was very positive. He started getting runs as soon as he came to the crease. But definitely he is capable.”
“We all want him to get out of this (century drought). I’m sure it must have been playing in his head. And one more thing, the more number of innings it takes to reach his next hundred, the more the pressure will be on him. In Bengaluru he will get one advantage which is that the pitch offers bounce, and hence he might play better,” he added.
