India’s former World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev is not worried about Virat Kohli’s current form and he feels the talisman should not take time to get back into form. The former Indian captain has been struggling to score runs consistently and recently took a one-month break from the game.

Kohli scored 35 runs off 34 balls against arch-rivals Pakistan in the team’s opening game of the Asia Cup. Dev feels Kohli looked confident in his knock as he played some fine shots and it is a matter of time before he gets back into form.

The 32-year-old from Delhi has not been at his best in the recent past and he will be determined to turn the tables in the Asia Cup.

“I am not worried about Virat Kohli’s form but it’s good to see him back. Saw a couple of shots that made an impact, I just want him to be more sure about that. He is coming back and looked good,” Kapil told ANI.

Kapil Dev added that he has always been a fan of Virat Kohli’s attitude on the field since he made his debut.

​​“He was lucky to be dropped in the first over but whatever he was playing, he was there. I like his attitude not today but from the last ten years, and that makes him a much bigger player than anybody else,” he added.

Former legendary all-rounder reckons it is a matter of one good knock before Kohli gets back his Midas Touch in the upcoming matches.

“I think don’t focus on runs for the country but understand that you are representing the country which is much bigger than that anything else. He should still feel he is representing the country. No player in every match will get zero but I think with his ability and talent he should not take time to come back into the form. He needs just one good inning to be back and I have no doubt about it,” Kapil said.

Kohli is a pivotal cog in India’s wheel and there is no doubt that he is going to hold the key for the Indian team in the T20 World Cup, which will begin in Australia in October.

India will take on Hong Kong on Wednesday.
