Delhi: Former leg -spinner and head coach of the Indian cricket team, Anil Kumble, believes that Virat Kohli is putting more pressure on himself to return to the form. He has advised this legendary batsman to remain stress free and play openly.
For your information, let us know that since the ODI World Cup 2023, Kohli has played 6 innings in this format, in which he has been able to score only 137 runs, including a half -century.
In a conversation with ESPNcricinfo, Kumble said, “I think he is trying much more about his batting. It is clearly reflected by seeing the way of his innings. They do not need to worry about it. Look at Rohit Sharma, he plays without any pressure, because there are many best batsmen in the team, who are in great form. Virat should also play openly. “
Kumble further said that every player goes through a difficult phase in his career, but Virat seems to be overwhelming. He said, “When the burden of expectations on the player increases, he starts thinking more about things more and makes more efforts to perform better.”
According to Kumble, “When you try more, you are not able to remain stress free. I am sure that when Virat played his best innings, he did not think much about these things. “
Significantly, Kohli has scored only one half -century in 11 innings since scoring a century in the second innings of the Perth Test against Australia. During this time he has scored 170 runs and his innings have been as follows – 22, 52, 5, 6, 17, 6, 36, 5, 3, 7 and 11 runs. Of these, 52 runs he scored against England in the third ODI played in Ahmedabad. Now the thing to see will be how Virat Kohli performs in the Maha match against Pakistan on February 23 in Dubai.
