After yet another poor performance, the debate on Virat Kohli’s spot in the Indian team has taken a new shape. Kohli departed early in the third T20I vs England on Sunday.
Former cricketers, including Kapil Dev and Venkatesh Prasad, have raised doubts over Kohli’s place in India’s T20I side.
However, India’s former wicketkeeper-batsman Deep Dasgupta believes that the 33-year-old Kohli is just one good knock away from returning to his best.
Deep Dasgupta, who has played 8 Tests and 5 ODIs for India, said there’s nothing wrong with Kohli’s batting and felt that the former skipper needs a bit of luck.
“Ooth pa baithe aadmi ko bhi kutta kaat leta hai (A man who is sitting on a camel could also get bitten by a dog)… Virat is going through a tough period. Take yesterday’s example, his flick, the straight drive was just unbelievable! Whenever he is playing, it does not look like he is out of form. I don’t feel he played a bad shot yesterday, maybe it was just his luck,” Deep Dasgupta said to Jagran TV.
“In T20s, you need to take a risk… sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but Virat is batting beautifully. Although questions are being raised about his form, I believe he just needs one good inning to return back to form. Virat is one of the bests India has ever produced. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.
Kohli will next be in action during the ODI series against England starting Tuesday.
