New Delhi. Former captain Virat Kohli’s name has not been named in the squad announced for the upcoming ODI and T20 series against West Indies. It is being said that he has been rested from the series against West Indies. Since the announcement of the team, discussions have started whether Virat has been rested or he has been dropped from the team due to poor form.
Many former cricketers have also given their feedback regarding Virat. Former India captain Kapil Dev had also said that his decision should be respected if the selectors have given him rest.
Amidst all this, former Pakistan captain and wicketkeeper Rashid Latif has given his reaction. Rashid Latif said through his YouTube channel that “There was no selector born in India who could drop Virat from the team.” He said that even after the 2019 ODI World Cup, Virat’s batting average is 38 and he has also scored 10 fifties in the meantime. He is being targeted.
Latif said that if Virat was not doing well in the 2019 World Cup and the last T20 World Cup, then what were the rest of the players doing. The entire team is surviving by placing a gun on their shoulders.
Talking about Kohli’s form, he has also been a failure on the tour of England. In the first innings of Edgbaston Test where he scored only 11 and in the second innings he scored 20 runs. After that he also failed in T20 and then Kohli, who was ruled out of the first ODI due to groin injury, could only manage 16 runs in the second ODI.
Problem with Kohli’s technique
Latif said that there is a problem with Kohli’s technique. He said that “he likes to play on the front foot and in such a situation, when he gets a small ball, he can not keep his head balanced.” Kohli still has a match chance. There is a decided match between India and England on Sunday where the team will need Kohli’s batting.
