IPL 2022: Sourav Ganguly Has His Say On Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's Poor Form In IPL 2022

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s battles with the bat in the ongoing 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) have turned into an enormous concern, particularly with India set to play the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia later in October.

Also, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on Friday opened up on their striving displays in the ongoing season.

Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma Struggling This Season

In 13 games this season, Kohli has scored 236 runs at only 19.67 at a strike rate of 113.46. His count contains a single 50 and three first ball duck excusals. This is Kohli’s most terrible performance in 14 years of IPL. Just in the debut season, he had scored fewer runs than this year, but with a game leftover in the league stage with RCB competing for a spot in the playoff games.

The Mumbai Indians captain, then again, has scored 218 runs in 12 games at only 18.17 with a strike rate of 125.29. The count contains five single-digit scores and one excusal on duck. Rohit is yet to hit a 50 this season whereas Mumbai Indians, who are as of now out of the contest to the playoff games, have two additional games to play.

Saurav Ganguly Backs Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli To Make A Comeback

Addressing Mid Day, Ganguly thought that with the T20 World Cup still far away, he remains determined over their current form and upheld them to return emphatically.

“I’m not worried at all about the form of Rohit or Virat. They are too good…real big players. The World Cup is far away and I am quite confident that they will be in top shape much before the tournament,” he said.

Following the 2022 IPL, India will have four T20I series to play with the five-match challenge against South Africa scheduled to start in June. This will be trailed by two T20Is in Ireland and three in England and three more at home against Australia. However, it is yet to be confirmed by the BCCI.
