“I am not defending Virat, but…” – DK said about Kohli’s poor form in the Sri Lanka series
After a brilliant performance in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli took a short break and then joined the Indian team for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the recent three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, Kohli did not look in his best form. He could not score a single half-century in this series. The most strange thing was that he was out LBW in all three matches. After tying the first ODI, Sri Lanka managed to register stunning wins against India in the second and third ODIs by 32 and 110 runs respectively. Virat Kohli’s performance in the Sri Lanka series immediately made headlines. This was the first time that Virat was out LBW in three consecutive matches of a series and all three times he lost his wicket to spinners. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Virat was heavily criticized for his poor performance. People are constantly talking about his struggle against spinners. Amid the criticism, former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik backed Virat and said that batting in Sri Lanka is very tough. He said that he was not trying to defend Kohli in any way, but the conditions in Sri Lanka can be very harsh for a batsman at times. Dinesh Karthik was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz, “It has been a tough pitch to play spin on in this series, let’s admit that first. Be it Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or anyone else. With a little bit of semi new ball between about 8 to 30 overs, it has been a tough job. There is nothing to worry about. Not too many pitches work like this, but it was a tough pitch for spinners to play. I am not going to defend Virat Kohli here, but I can tell you that it was very tough to play spin.”
