Asia Cup 2022: Former coach Shastri said on Kohli's form, everyone's talk will stop as soon as he hits fifty in the first match
Asia Cup 2022: Former India coach Ravi Shastri has once again defended the former captain who has been battling for form for a long time. Shastri said that no one can match Kohli in terms of hunger and passion for fitness to win.
Former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has once again defended his former coach Ravi Shastri for his poor form. He said that he is confident that Virat Kohli will find his form in the Asia Cup. Shastri said that no one can match Kohli in terms of fitness, hunger to win and passion. His return after a short break from international cricket will be great. Earlier, Shastri had advised Kohli to take a break from cricket.
Shastri said, "Though I haven't spoken to Kohli in the last days, but the big players always manage on time. The break that Kohli took before the Asia Cup will prove beneficial for him. During this time he should introspect. People's memory is very short and if Kohli hits fifty against Pakistan, people will forget everything."
He said, "Recently I was looking at a statistic, according to this, in the last three years, Kohli has played three times more matches than Kane Williamson, David Warner or Joe Root. In all three formats of cricket (Test, ODI and T20) Kohli was playing continuously, which affects the player. Even after playing in so many matches, you can hardly see any other Indian cricketer as fit as Kohli. Kohli is a run machine, the hunger and passion for victory in him is still before As it is. Every big player goes through bad times and learns from them. He just needs a big innings."
