IND vs AUS: Team India has lost the ODI series against Australia and during this, Virat Kohli’s lack of runs with the bat is a matter of great concern. It has never happened in history that Kohli has been out like this.
IND vs OFF: A three-match ODI series is being played between India and Australia and so far Team India has lost two matches. With this, the Kangaroos captured the series and the Indian team will take the field in the final match to save its reputation. In both these matches, the most talked about star player is Virat Kohli, because he was out for zero in both the matches. Now his form remains a matter of concern. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan said that King Kohli should not show disappointment after being out on zero twice against Australia. At present Kohli is seen struggling on the Australian tour.
Kohli could not open his account in two matches
Virat Kohli, who dreams of playing the World Cup 2027, has faced a lot of disappointment on the Australian tour and this is the first time that he has been out on zero in an ODI series. Kohli’s bat runs fiercely on the Adelaide ground, but this time he was out for zero. Virat Kohli has retired from T-20 and Test cricket. Now he is playing for Team India in the ODI format and there is no doubt that the run machine aims to play the World Cup to be held in 2027.
What did Pathan say on King Kohli?
Irfan Pathan said that he had never seen Virat Kohli getting out on zero twice in two matches. However, this can happen to any cricketer at any time and it could be pressure, laziness or anything. All these things are now going on on social media and such an atmosphere is being created that whether Kohli should now retire from ODIs also. The former cricketer said that we should be careful about all these things and should not allow this kind of pressure to be put on both the players. If the performance is not good then they will not play and then how can they recover from such pressure. At present, he wants to get out of strike by taking one run quickly and if he gets out for zero twice, he would definitely like to score runs in the third match. But special care should be taken not to get frustrated, if this happens then you will not be able to enjoy batting.
Rohit-Kohli should be given time
Irfan said that when Virat Kohli spends time on a pitch, runs will automatically start coming from his bat. Kohli likes ODI cricket the most. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have performed. If both those batsmen are struggling then we should also stand with them and give them time. Also, it is very difficult that when one batsman is out on zero and the other in-form batsman is out.
