Former India battleman Mohammed Kaif hopes that Virat Kohli will get his shape back in the upcoming Champions League. The former captain of India Kohli had a bad performance with the bat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia and only scored 190 points in nine innings with the help of just one century. Kohli's recent form has caused concerns about his future in the team, but Kaif suggested that it would be stupid to write off the star player now. India will play his T20i matches in Dubai after it has refused to travel to Pakistan.
Kaif emphasized how Dubai has been a happy hunting ground for Kohli, and remembered his century against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup in 2022.
“Virat Kohli never accepts a defeat and always makes a comeback. Don't write it off with white ball cricket, the picture is not nearly over yet, because he has 50 ODI ton to his name and almost 13,000 runs in ODIs. So forget what happened in tests, “said Kaif on his YouTube channel.
Kaif is of the opinion that if Kohli starts with a positive note on the Champions Trophy, he can no longer be stopped after that.
“He plays differently in the white ball. The last time Virat Kohli played in Dubai, he scored 122 unbeaten of 61 balls against Afghanistan and he hit six six in his innings. His form was excellent and he likes to play in Dubai, so I like me Expect him to do well with the bat in the Champions Trophy, “he added.
“If he scores well in the opening match, he keeps score points, I can take that warranty. Virat Kohli White Ball Me Ek Badshah hai (Virat Kohli is an uncrowned king in white ball cricket). The era has not ended, it Will continue, “said Kaif.
After thirteen years, Kohli returns to the Ranji Trophy, after he had expressed the wish to play the Delhi match against the railways from 30 January.
Prior to the Champions Trophy, he will also participate in an ODI series of three games against England.
