Be it his childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma or Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, all have offered to help Kohli get out of bad form.

Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma told ANI, “This academy is his own ground. Before he didn’t have time but when he has some time.

He Enjoys this Place:-

So he can spend some time here with himself and practice. I would really like it if he comes here and he enjoys the place and feels comfortable.”

Gavaskar had told India Today, “If I had about 20 minutes with him, I would have been able to tell him the things he might have to do. It might help him.

I’m not saying it will help him but it might. My advice to him especially with regards to the off-stump line can help.”

Notes –
Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel were not available for selection owing to injuries. They are currently undergoing rehab at the NCA in Bengaluru.

Three players – Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel and Deepak Chahar have been named as standbys.
