He is the poster boy of Indian cricket. Viewers are eager to see his cover drive, straight drive, or pool shot. However, Kohli, who has taken himself to unique heights, now seems to be looking at the reverse side of the coin.
Kohli’s bat is lusterless in the Indian Premier League IPL, the mega event of franchise cricket. That is why the poster boy of Indian cricket has to be repeatedly hit by the critics. At the same time, he has lost the captaincy of the national team.
Kohli resigned as captain of limited overs cricket last year. The board then removed him from the captaincy of the ODI team. Kohli later removed himself from the captaincy of the Test team. Despite being a great captain, Kohli has not been able to present any major ICC trophy to the country.
However, the former national team captain wants the country to win the Asia Cup and World Cup this year, surpassing his recent performances and criticism. This was stated by Kohli in a recent interview given to popular sports channel Star Sports.
Kohli said he was ready to help the team win the Asia Cup and the World Cup. He must return even if he needs to rest. “I want India to win the Asia Cup and the (T20) World Cup,” said Kohli. “This is inspiration. I have to keep my balance. Need to take some rest. I don’t want to look back anymore. My main goal is to help India win the Asia Cup and the World Cup and I am ready to do anything for the team. “
Can Kohli do this? The answer will be given in time.
