Prior to the Asia Cup 2022, renowned West Indian cricketer Brian Lara sent a warning to the teams participating in the tournament. Ahead of the championship tournament, Virat Kohli, who is expected to rejoin the Indian team, will explode once he is back, according to the legend.
A player of Kohli’s caliber, in Lara’s opinion, can never be dismissed. The former India skipper failed to get 50 in any of his six innings against England. Despite this, Lara believes a player of Kohli’s caliber will regain his form.
He said, “I have great respect for Virat Kohli as a player, and every player goes through a lean phase in his or her career. Virat is going to come out of this phase as a better player. He will be learning a lot of different things in his career, and at this point, you can never write a player of Kohli’s career.”
Since getting a century against Bangladesh in 2019, Kohli has gone three years without recording a century. The 34-year-highest old’s score in the one-off Test against England was 44.
Many experts believe that the right-handed batter’s method is correct and that it just takes one successful hit.
To put his mind in a healthier place, Kohli took a lengthy 41-day sabbatical. The former captain of India will be eager to play and regain his form in the forthcoming Asia Cup.
The right-handed batter has started every inning, but he hasn’t been able to turn them into a significant score.
Selectors have already been notified of Virat Kohli’s availability for the Asia Cup. The main concern for the Indian team has been Virat Kohli’s performance, but his position at No. 3 is not currently in danger. He will carry on in the same time slot. The future of Kohli has not been specifically discussed in the shortest format.
Even if he doesn’t have a spectacular Asia Cup, it will be impossible to dismiss his years of experience and match-winning skills for the major event in Australia. The backup No. 3 for India will be Deepak Hooda.
