Irfan’s opinion on Kohli
Irfan Pathan talked about the weakness in Virat Kohli’s batting. Regarding the wrong shots played by Kohli, especially on balls outside the off-stump, Irfan said, “This problem is old, but Kohli has not been able to fix it till now.

Question on Virat’s discipline
Irfan Pathan praised Kohli’s off-field discipline and hard work, but he also raised questions as to why he is not able to show discipline on the field. Pathan said, “He is very disciplined in his daily routine, but what is the reason why he is not able to follow it on the field?”
Criticism from senior players
Irfan Pathan said about captain Rohit and Kohli, “Both the senior players have shattered not only the team’s expectations but also their own expectations. Pathan said, “The performance of both the senior players was not as per expectations. They are constantly making mistakes.”
