Virat Kohli has not recorded an international tonne since November 2019 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Virat Kohli is going through a bad stretch right now, and his performance in the IPL 2022 has only served to highlight that. The former Indian cricket team captain’s average was 19.67 before Royal Challengers Bangalore’s must-win match against Gujarat Titans. It’s the second-lowest average he’s had in a single IPL season. Only one half-century has been achieved by him so far. Kohli hasn’t hit a century in international cricket since November 2019. An ex-India coach had advised Kohli to take a sabbatical because of his recent performance.
Now, Kohli has reacted to the remark. I don’t think it’s something that’s been much discussed” (taking a break). Ravi Bhai is the only one who has ever mentioned it. That’s because he’s been in the same circumstance for the past six or seven years, and he’s witnessed the amount of cricket I’ve played up close and personal. Kohli said on Star Sports on Thursday about the ups and downs and the toll it takes on you to play three formats of the game and the Indian Premier League (IPL) for 10-11 years non-stop with seven years of captaincy in between.
As a rule, it’s best to avoid doing anything in which you don’t have a 100% ownership stake. And I’ve always held that belief in my heart as well. So, it’s evident that I need to make a decision on whether or not to take a break and when to do so. Taking a break and recharging your batteries is a wise move for anyone, regardless of age. To a lesser extent than physically, due to the fact that physical fitness is something you keep up with. However, you require a mental reset in order to be enthused about what you are doing.
There is nothing inherently wrong with that,” he says. With the quantity of cricket we play, it’s a good thing. It’s all about finding a balance that works for you, not for anyone else. My plan is to meet with Rahul Bhai and the Indian team’s management to come up with a solution that is beneficial for myself and my teammates.
‘yaha pe issue ho rahi hai,’ is not something you can point out.” That is an easy thing for me to comprehend because I know that I am batting well and at times when I begin to get that rhythm again, I know that I am batting well. In England (2014), this wasn’t the case,” he stated.
At that point, I had a distinct impression that I was hitting horribly. I had to put in a lot of effort to overcome an obstacle that would be exposed time and time again. That is not the situation at this time. If you’ve made it this far in international cricket without being able to adapt to a variety of situations and bowling styles, you’re not going to get very far. As a result, this is a simpler period for me to get through. Putting this phase behind me isn’t something I’d like to accomplish any time soon. Kohli said he will know how consistent he can be when he comes out of this period.
Since November 2019, Kohli has failed to score a century in an international match, a feat that made him a household name.
