Indian star batter Virat Kohli is looking ominous in the nets ahead of the Indo-Pak Clash on Sunday (28th August). He recently revealed in an interview that he was not in a good mental state. His remarks astonished everyone as he is someone who is always into the face of the opponent and has a never to say die attitude. Earlier Ben Stokes of England had also revealed that he took anxiety pills in order to overcome mental illness. It looks as if the bubble life has drained the cricketers.
Saqlain Mushtaq, the Head Coach of the Pakistan Cricket Team was surprised to see the form of Virat Kohli irrespective of the tough times he has faced. The Head Coach knows that Virat Kohli has the power to change the complexion of the match within a couple of balls; Virat has a very good habit of rotating the strike which kind of frustrates the bowling team & Captain.
Saqlain Mushtaq on Virat Kohli
The Pakistani Head Coach was all praise for Virat Kohli. ”Virat’s form wasn’t great in his last few games. But when I saw him training on the ground yesterday, his body language didn’t look like that of someone who’s struggling. This is the true sign of a big player. He has dominated world cricket and will have good memories of the execution that he has done over the years. He is just waiting for the right chance where he unleashes all his skills”, said the legendary leg spinner.
Virat Kohli gives a glimpse of old times
The former skipper has been seeing trying new innovative shots like switch hit. He was also using his feet against the spinners and most importantly he had fire in his eyes. It looked like King Kohli is ready to assert dominance once again over the world.
Virat Kohli should keep one thing in mind the more he occupies the crease, the more he can create fear amongst the opponent team. Rohit Sharma has been backing him since his bad patch and would hope that the dynamic batter finally plays a match-defining knock. Virat Kohli is vulnerable to the offside channel and once again the likes of Naseem Shah would like to exploit that weakness.
