“He should play domestic cricket” – DK gave important advice to Virat who was struggling with poor form.
Dinesh Karthik And Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Twitter) Virat Kohli has not been able to give his best performance in the longest format of the game for some time. His last Test century came in 2023. In the last five years, he has scored only two centuries, which is very low by his standards. After India lost its first Test series on home soil against New Zealand last week, 35-year-old Virat’s performance has also come under question. Seeing this disappointing performance of Virat Kohli, former cricketer Dinesh Karthik has advised him to play domestic cricket. Karthik believes that Kohli is a player who likes challenge. Now in the Test series against New Zealand, he is seen struggling to score runs against the spinners. However, Karthik is confident that Virat will soon give a befitting reply to his critics. Dinesh Karthik gave important advice to Virat Kohli to get back in form. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “It has not been easy for Virat Kohli, this series has not been good for him, he has disappointed in three out of four innings. This is obviously a match where the spinners have troubled him, and I think he’ll figure out what he needs to do to get stronger. He is a man who is searching for answers. When you reach that level of talent and super stardom, you are given challenges and here is another challenge. India like to play on spin-friendly pitches, what is their gameplan?” He further said, “We all know what he is capable of, but this series was not for him. As fans are saying, he hasn’t done this in a long time and we can’t run away from it. We don’t want to hide it because we want to be objective in assessing any player, his performance. At present, Virat Kohli’s Test record in the last 2-3 years has not been good against spin.
VIDEO: Virat lost his temper after listening to the fans, did such a thing in anger
Overall, Virat Kohli could score only 18 runs in both the innings of the Pune Test match. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: The Test series against New Zealand has been no less than a nightmare for Team India so far. The first test match was 8 wickets and now Team India had to face defeat by 113 runs in the second match. When Virat Kohli came to bat on the third day, he gave hope of victory in the Indian camp by hitting some good shots. But when he returned to the dressing room after getting out, his anger was on top of the sky. Virat Kohli’s anger reaches sky high While returning to the dressing room, Virat Kohli got angry and hit the ice box hard with his bat. In this video going viral on social media, Virat Kohli was going towards the dressing room after getting out. Then some fans said ‘hard luck’ and then Virat hit the box full of water bottles with force with the bat. Kohli could score only one run in the first innings of the Pune Test, while in the second innings he was out after scoring only 17 runs. Talking about the match, on the third day, New Zealand had advanced its innings with a score of 198/5, but the Indian bowlers had all out the Kiwi team within the next 57 runs. In this way India got the target of 359 runs in the fourth innings. Virat Kohli came to bat in the fourth innings when India had lost the second wicket at the score of 96. There Team India needed a big partnership, but due to continuous fall of wickets the team was on the backfoot. From Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli, from Gill to Sarfaraz, everyone flopped with the bat in the second innings of the Pune Test and could not contribute anything. Despite losing two consecutive Tests against New Zealand, the Indian team remains at the first position in the World Test Championship table. India’s winning percentage is 62.82, but Team India’s two consecutive defeats have made its path to the finals difficult. Australia, which is in second place, has a percentage of 62.50. India will have to win every match from here to reach the WTC final.
