The 33-year-old Indian leg-spinner Piyush Chawla said that the senior India batter Virat Kohli, who has been struggling for runs, was selfless in his approach in the second T20I of the three-match T20I series against England at the Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Virat Kohli, who failed to deliver a good performance for India in the rescheduled Test against England, was able to score only one run off 3 balls in Edgbaston T20I before being dismissed by debutant Richard Gleeson.

Speaking to ESPNCricinfo after the second T20I game, Chawla said that Kohli, despite not being in good form, kept the team ahead of himself and got out while playing an attacking stroke. He said:
“Speaking of Virat Kohli and his wicket, he played for the team and embraced their attacking brand of cricket. He saw that the ball was there to be hit and he went for it. Although he isn’t in the greatest of forms, what’s important to see is that he kept his team ahead of himself.”
