Trinidad: India (Team India) is coming out with a magnificent performance in the tour of West Indies. The team won the ODI series 3-0 and is leading the T20 series 2-1. In the absence of senior players, Shikhar Dhawan led India in ODIs. Regular captain Rohit Sharma is back in T20. India’s achievement is without senior players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Kohli has been going through bad form for the past two years. Despite playing six innings in different formats in England, the star could not take his personal score beyond 20. Former Pakistan player Mohammad Hafeez is giving a solution to Kohli’s bad form. Hafeez suggested that Kohli is struggling mentally and it is better to take a break. Hafeez had earlier expressed the same opinion about Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali.

Virat Kohli is one of the best cricketers the world has seen in the last ten years. Kohli has the same problem as Hasan Ali. He needs a break now. Because Kohli is going through such mental difficulties. Kohli was rested during the West Indies tour because of the cost,” said Hafeez.
Kohli is a player who can make an impact on the team’s success. But Kohli has not been able to play this kind of innings for the last 2-3 years. He scored a half-century against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, but that innings did not make any kind of impact,” explained Hafeez.

“Every star needs a break. BCCI has taken a good decision. This break will pave the way for Kohli to come back,” Hafeez said.
Kohli was also left out of the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. Kohli will be back in the Asia Cup starting on August 27. Earlier Pakistan captain Babar Azam came out in support of Kohli. Asam said that Kohli’s bad time will pass.
