Delhi: Many questions are being raised regarding the recent form of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, especially Virat Kohli. The current form cannot be considered appropriate in any way for a big player like him. His own former coach has given a big statement about Virat Kohli. Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich said that the time of “King” Kohli is over and now the crown of the king is on the head of Jasprit Bumrah.
Simon Katich’s statement
Simon Katich said during the commentary that Virat Kohli, who had made his mark in cricket in the last decade, has now lost his dominance. He believes that Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has now snatched this position from Kohli and established himself as a new “king”. Katich said, “Kohli looks disappointed with himself and this is a big injury for him.”

Was the head coach of RCB
To understand this statement, it is important to know that Simon Katich has also been the coach of Virat Kohli. Katich was appointed the head coach of RCB in August 2019, where under his leadership the team finished fourth in IPL 2020. However, now he is doing radio commentary.
Virat’s bad form
Virat Kohli has been able to score only 417 runs this year at an average of 24.52, while his form in Test cricket has reached its lowest level ever. Amidst these difficulties, Australia recorded a resounding 184-run win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and now have a 2-1 lead ahead of the fifth Test. The next test between the two teams will be played in Sydney on 3 January.
