Batting coach Rathod is not worried about Virat Kohli’s poor form, explains the reason

India vs West Indies Virat Kohli Vikram Rathour: Former India captain Virat Kohli is not in long form. But Vikram Rathod is not worried about the batting. He is sure that Virat will definitely return to form in the T20 series against West Indies. Kohli, who retired from captaincy in all three formats last month, could only manage 26 runs in the three-match ODI series at an average of 8.6.

Rathod said that Kohli is playing well in the nets and does not feel that he is out of form. Talking to the media ahead of the three-match T20 series starting at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday, he said, “I don’t think he is in bad form. He could not do well in the series against West Indies but there is no concern about that.

Kohli has not scored a century in international cricket in the last two years. The last time he scored a century in the day-night Test against Bangladesh was in November 2019. Rathod said, “He is batting well in the nets. I am sure he will play a big innings in the T20 series.

The series is crucial in preparation for the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia in October and Rathod expressed confidence that his batsmen will do well in Australia. He said, “There is no problem in batting. All the batsmen are capable of playing well in those conditions. We are preparing by focusing on the World Cup to be held in Australia. Some players are injured and until everyone is fit, it will be difficult to say anything about their roles.
