Virat Kohli On And Off Form May Trouble India In ICC Champions Trophy

Virat Kohli is considered a pioneer of Indian Cricket who scored a huge amount of runs and broked huge records. The aura he possesses in batting is still unmatchable which is still a dream for modern-day batters. India opted to chase yesterday and no other than him could do it better
But it was tough luck for the champ who couldn't do his job which he had mastered in it. Bangladesh posted a target of 228, which India started with a blistering start. Captain Rohit Sharma's hitting a century against England in the second ODI has given him some confidence. But the chase master poising the same dent.

The Rough Patch Still On the Verge
Virat Kohli was unstoppable where he was scoring century for fun. In the series with England, it was Anderson who found a slight weakness that was striking him, he found that Kohli trying to attempt the fourth and fifth stump which deceived his tendency because he played a lot of Cover Drive which is one of his favourite shots. He got out frequently and the spark soon spread like fire. 
He too struggled in Australia pitches as it was his first tour but he managed to cope with it. Kohli too had figured out that their opponents sensed his weakness so he adjusted his stance playing slightly upfront which gave him a better connection with the bat rather than chasing it. With this slight adjustment, he was able to excel in his batting. 
The Rise Of Weakness And Prolonging On
After the World Cup of 2019, the performance with the bat became on set of patches. He possessed an average of 72 on tests which dropped to 32. The consistency that he possessed was gone. The frequent knicks on the outside off stump increased, and the eagerness to chase the ball increased which dipped him completely. Though he performed well in some of the tournaments like in T20 World Cup in Dubai where he pulled off an unchangeable target. The 2023 world was 50-50 where India lost the finals.

The 2024 World Cup was a testimony to him where he scored a great number of runs in the finals too he scored 75 runs which destined the victory triumph for India. But after that, the form dipped more where it was seen in the Bgt series where he just only one century in that series and the rest of them in single digits raised questions about his place in the team. Still, the team has full confidence in him because when he delivers he does something big.
