star batsman of india Virat Kohli Currently going through a bad phase in his international career. The slowdown has been going on for some time now and some former players have started questioning Kohli’s place in the T20 team.

The 33-year-old’s last international century came in 2019 and since then, he has not touched the three-figure mark in any form of cricket.

Recently, in the rescheduled 5th Test against England at Edgbaston, Kohli could manage only 11 and 20 runs in two innings. India Lost the match. He then went on to score just 12 runs in two innings in the T20I series.

Despite his form and all the criticism, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has backed Kohli to return to his old form.

“Of course, look at the numbers he has in international cricket which doesn’t happen without ability and quality. Yes, he has had a tough time and he knows it. He himself has been a great player. He himself knows it hasn’t been good by his own standards and I see him coming back and doing well. But he has to find his own way and become successful, which he has been doing for the last 12-13 years or more and only Virat Kohli can do that,” said Ganguly while talking to the news agency. years,

Kohli’s poor form has received mixed reactions from former cricketers. However, legends like Kapil Dev and Venkatesh Prasad have openly questioned Kohli’s place in T20.

Ganguly said that Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and he himself had to go through this phase.

“These things will be in play. It has happened with everyone. It has happened to Sachin, it has happened to Rahul, it has happened to me, it has happened to Kohli. This is going to happen to future players. It is part and parcel of the game and I think as a player you just need to listen, be aware of what it is and just go and play your game,” Ganguly said.
