Kapil Dev's bold comment towards Virat Kohli..!?
If the No. 2 bowler does not get a chance in the Test matches, the same situation should be the same for the batsman. The indian cricket team is currently participating in the t20 series against the england team. The indian team won the first 2 matches of this series by a landslide. The third t20 match is being held today. virat kohli has featured in the last 2 T20Is of this series.
In this case, he did not score runs properly in the 2nd t20 match. And virat kohli has been in poor form for the last year and a half. In this context, the former captain of the indian team kapil dev has commented on the selection of Virat Kohli.
In it he said that the indian team has various players in form, why do they field an experienced player even when he is not in form. Even if someone is a veteran, why is he being given a chance when he has missed more than 5 matches in a row?If the second-ranked bowler in the international Test rankings does not have a chance in the team, the batsman should have the same position. Even if he is your number one batsman, he should also miss out on the team.
If he is not playing well then other players should be given a chance. There should be competition between players for team selection. virat kohli is an important player on the team. But now he doesn't play like that. So he should also think about this.The main reason for Virat Kohli's decline is his batting form.
It has been 956 days since virat kohli scored a century in international cricket. He last scored a century in a Test match against bangladesh at Eden Gardens in 2019. He did not score a century in a Test match played after that. Similarly, virat kohli has not scored a century in ODIs recently. The last time virat kohli scored a century was on august 14, 2019, in an ODI against West Indies. virat kohli scored 114* runs in that match. Since then, virat kohli has not scored a century in ODIs either.
