Virat Kohli is going through a poor run and recorded consecutive first-ball ducks in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. In the last game against SunRisers Hyderabad, the former RCB skipper edged the first ball he played of Marco Jansen to the second slip, and his demeanor after the excusal said everything.
Former England skipper Kevin Pietersen has said something regarding Kohli’s form, saying the Indian player is in “that dull spot” and one can simply pray he finds form in light of the fact that the game requires him to score runs.

The Game Needs Virat Kohli To Score Runs: Kevin Pietersen
“I think he is at a point and having been at that point in my career on a couple of occasions myself, it is not nice. It is a very lonely, lonely place especially when you have all eyes on you. Every single thing is Kohli, Kohli, and Kohli. He is in that dark place, I just hope it ends quickly because the game needs him to score runs,” Pietersen told Star Sports after the game between RCB and SRH.

Kevin Pietersen upheld him, saying that Kohli is having a seriously tough time, however it has happened to each and every other incredible cricketer. “You want a fact? Every single great of our game has been through what Virat is going through. Want another fact? They all get through it and deliver on the big stage again…” he tweeted.
SRH Humiliates RCB
Royal Challengers Bangalore staggered to a nine-wicket defeat against SunRisers Hyderabad on Saturday. The Faf du Plessis-drove side was bowled out for only 68 runs as left-arm pacers Marco Jansen and T Natarajan got back with three wickets each.

Eventually, SRH pursued the objective with nine wickets in hand and 12 overs to spare. Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson played innings of 47 and 16 to assist SRH with enlisting an easy triumph.
Up to this point, in this IPL season, Virat Kohli has been unable to figure out how to score runs, He has only 119 runs from eight games and his form is beginning to turn into a worry looking at how India needs to play a T20 World Cup this year in Australia.
