Virat Kohli, the best batsman of the Indian team, is currently participating in the 3-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. So far, two matches have been played in this ODI series and Virat Kohli’s performance has been very poor in both. Virat Kohli scored 24 runs in the first ODI while he scored 14 runs in the second match.

In both these matches, Virat Kohli was seen having a lot of trouble against the spinners. It has been seen very rarely that Virat Kohli has had trouble against the spinners but in this series, the experienced batsman has failed to perform well. The most surprising thing about Virat Kohli was that he was LBW in both these matches. Recently, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has put forth his opinion on Virat Kohli’s poor form.

Basit Ali said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Virat Kohli, who is the world’s number 1 batsman, has been LBW twice. If this had happened to Shreyas Iyer or Shivam Dubey, it would have been understandable, but Virat Kohli is Virat Kohli. This means that he is not practicing.’

Former Pakistani player made a big statement about India’s batting lineup

Basit Ali further said, ‘It does not seem at all that this is the same batting lineup that ruled the world. I think Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have not even practiced yet. These people have come without practice.

I don’t understand at all what Shreyas Iyer will do after such a performance. I think now the time has come that Rishabh Pant, Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh should come back to the Indian team. India’s ODI domestic tournament will be very important for Gautam Gambhir as the head coach can take some players from there as well. If India selects players on the basis of reputation then the result of Champions Trophy 2025 will be very bad for them.
