Meanwhile, Manjrekar followed Kohli closely and concluded that Kohli was not in form. “Virat Kohli has scored some runs but when I watch him, I focus on how far his sixes go – near the boundary, in the stands or in the second tier. He is still just clearing the boundary ropes and that’s what I’ve said often over the past year – Virat Kohli’s power game has waned a bit. Five-six years ago, he used to hit big sixes. I will focus on him not scoring 50 or 60 runs. Once his power game gets better then I would say Virat Kohli is into T20 cricket”, Manjrekar said while talking to ESPNcricinfo.
