Virat Kohli, one of the greatest players of our time, has been racking up hundreds and records in international cricket, but Kohli has been out of form for the last two and a half years.
Virat Kohli, who has scored 70 centuries in international cricket, last scored a century in November 2019. Since then, he has been unable to score even a century for two and a half years.
Virat Kohli, who has not played well in the IPL, had high expectations for the series against England. But he missed both the ODI and T20I series against England.

Kapil Dev had questioned whether Ashwin can be ignored in the Test team, but Kohli can’t be ignored in the T20I team. There were also calls to pick an in-form player instead of hanging on to an out-of-form goalkeeper.
Despite the heavy criticism and harsh views leveled at Virat Kohli, captain Rohit Sharma and the team management have been supportive of him.
While many ex-players criticize Virat Kohli, some ex-players also support him. One such person is former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar. Already recently, Akhtar had spoken in support of Virat Kohli.
