Greeting the Audience by Raising the bat to Virat

The last century in professional cricket with Virat’s bat came on 23 November 2019. Then he scored a century against Bangladesh in the Day-Night Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

There have been more than 100 matches since then, but Virat hasn’t got an opportunity to pick up the bat and accept the audience’s greetings.

Virat had scored 973 runs in IPL 2016. Since then, he has been able to score more than 500 runs only once in a season of IPL.

Virat’s Performance in IPL 2022:-

Virat’s performance in the current season has been disappointing. In nine matches, Kohli has scored 128 runs at an average of 16. His highest score is 48 runs. Virat’s strike rate is also below 120.

He has scored runs at a strike rate of 119.62. RCB is yet to play five matches. The team expects a big inning from Virat in the remaining matches. Kohli himself would also like to end this bad phase.

IND vs SA T20 Series: Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri told Star Sports, “I am directly talking about the main player here. Due to busyness, fatigue dominates Virat Kohli. If anyone needs rest, it is Kohli.

The selectors have said that they will talk to Virat not only about his form but also about his future plans.

A group of BCCI believes that Kohli should say goodbye to one format completely so that he can play well in both the other formats.

The BCCI group is also of the view that Kohli is more likely to leave one format and focus on Test cricket. Test cricket is also a priority for the former Indian captain.

Team selectors said that “We have not spoken to Kohli about this yet. This would be too early. He is looking forward to some time and rests to get through this difficult phase.

We will talk to him after IPL is over. But as far as possible, he would like to make a comeback from the series against England itself.

With this, it also depends on Virat’s consent, what do they want? We will respect his wish.

Commenting on the selection, the BCCI officials said, “Look, we don’t interfere in matters of selection.

The selectors will have to take a call on Virat and other players. We cannot give them our learning. Obviously, Virat Kohli will also be worried about his form, what is happening to him?
