Keep an eye on Virat Kohli’s recent performance
Virat’s batting style continues to dominate world cricket, but in recent times his performance has not been as per his reputation. This time the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has become a “do or die” situation for them. Kohli is not only struggling to regain his lost form, but is also facing the challenge of saving his place in the Test team.
In this year’s international cricket, the right-handed batsman has scored only 488 runs in 19 matches at an average of 20.33, which includes only two half-centuries and a best score of 76 in 25 innings. His statistics in Test cricket have been even more disappointing, which do not match his superstardom. Between 2016-2019, Virat scored 4208 runs in 43 Test matches at an average of 66.79, which included 16 centuries and 10 half-centuries.
However, Virat’s Test performance has declined since 2020. His average in 34 Test matches played during this period was 31.68, in which he scored only two centuries and nine half-centuries. This year, his performance in the home Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand was also disappointing, where he scored only 192 runs in 10 innings at an average of 21.33 and scored only one half-century. In the latest ICC Test batting rankings, Kohli has dropped out of the top-20 for the first time in 10 years.
