Virat Kohli has said that he should talk to Rahul Dravid and the Indian team management and decide on taking a break.
Virat Kohli, who has been out of form for the past 2 years, has not scored a single century in 2 years. While Virat Kohli’s poor batting has been a source of concern for the Indian team, Kohli has resigned from the captaincy of the Indian team and the RCB team for focusing on batting.
So there was great expectation on him as the goalie played in this IPL just as a batsman without any pressure from the captaincy. But not a single fifty was scored in the first 13 matches. Continuing his poor form, Goalie scored a massive fifty off 73 balls against the Gujarat Titans to help RCB win the toss and elected to bat. His innings has given hope and enthusiasm not only to the RCB but also to the Indian team.
While his poor form has worried the Indian team as the T20 World Cup approaches, many former players have been advising him to come back to form. In it, the main advice was that the goalie should take a break. Ravi Shastri, who had watched Goli very closely for 4-5 years, had given this advice.
Speaking to Star Sports after the fantastic innings against the Gujarat Titans, Kohli said the question of taking a break was raised. Virat Kohli, in response, said that Ravi Bhai, who has been watching me from the sidelines for the past several years, has told me that I need to take a break. I have been playing cricket regularly. That is why he has said so. The decision will be taken in consultation with Rahul Dravid (current Indian team coach) and the Indian team management. The goalie said he had to make a decision that would not be to the detriment of me and the team.
