“Virat Kohli is not the only one who is out of form. And this is not about one person. I don’t understand, that when Rohit Sharma doesn’t score runs, nobody talks about it. Even when any other Indian player doesn’t score runs, nobody talks about it. But when Kohli doesn’t perform, people get furious,” Sunil Gavaskar said.
While talking about Virat Kohli’s inclusion in T20 team for the upcoming World Cup, Gavaskar said, “The kind of template Kohli is using shortly, where he has to go out and swing his bat, he is going to be unsuccessful at times. But we have a selection committee and it will think about it. But I think, time is still there for team selection for T20 World Cup 2022,”
