Virat Kohli will be back in form soon: Kapil Dev

Former India captain and legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev has said that Virat Kohli looked in pretty good touch during his brief knock in the Asia Cup encounter against Pakistan and it won’t take too long for him to regain his form.

India emerged victorious in their opening encounter of the Asia Cup against Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday. It was an exciting contest as the balance of the game kept swinging from one team to another almost in every phase. Kohli was the joint top scorer for India along with Ravindra Jadeja, both of whom played solid knocks of 35.

“Good to see him come back. I saw a couple of shots where he really made an impact. I just want him to be more sure about that. So far, he is coming back, he looked good. He was lucky in the first over when he was dropped. I like his attitude, not only today but from the last ten years. This makes him a bigger player than anyone else,” said Kapil in an exclusive interview with ANI.

Kapil Dev also went on to talk about how Kohli can regain his form. On that aspect, he said that ups and downs are a part of any sportsperson’s career and he has to believe in himself to overcome this tough period.

“It is much bigger than anything else. No player will get runs in every match, no player will get a zero in every match. I think with his ability, his talent, it should not take him that long to come back in form. Just waiting for one big knock. He will be back, I have no doubt about it,” he added.

Kohli hasn’t looked like his own self for about four years now. His batting against spinners in the middle-overs has taken a serious hit and that has made a huge impact on his overall returns. He averaged just 22.73 and struck at 115.99 after playing 16 matches in the IPL earlier this year, and that sums up how much he has struggled.

But everyone is looking forward to seeing him return to form. That is very important for him and also for India, as they will be competing in the the T20 World Cup, starting in Australia in October.
