#WATCH | London, UK | Look at the numbers he (Virat Kolhi) has got in international cricket, that doesn't happen without ability & quality. Yes, he has had a tough time & he knows that, he has been a great player himself: BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on Virat Kohli's poor form pic.twitter.com/RMqDYsnbKq
Former India captain Virat is going through a rough patch, which has been exacerbated by a groyne injury. The 33-year-last old’s international century came in 2019, and his poor form continued in the Test and T20I series against England. Where he scored only 11 and 20 runs in the Edgbaston Test and 12 runs in two T20I innings.
Despite his failures, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly believes he can regain his scoring form. “Of course, look at his international numbers; that doesn’t happen without ability and quality.” Yes, he has had a difficult time, and he is aware of it. He was a fantastic player himself. He knows it hasn’t been good by his own standards, and I see him coming back and doing well. But he has to find his way and become successful, as he has been for the last 12-13 years or so. And only Virat Kohli can do that,” said BCCI president Sourav Ganguly in an exclusive interview with news agency news.
Kohli’s poor form has drawn widespread criticism, and some former cricketers. Including legend Kapil Dev and Venkatesh Prasad, have even questioned his place in the T20 side. “These things are bound to happen in sports.” It’s happened to everyone. It happened to Sachin, it happened to Rahul, it happened to me, and it happened to Virat Kohli. It will happen to future players. That’s part of the game, and I think as a sportsman you just have to listen, be aware of what’s going on, and go play your game,” Ganguly explained.
