Virat big tournament players: Clarke Former Australia captain Michael Clarke appreciated Kohli’s poor performance against Bangladesh in the initial match of India’s Champions Trophy. I think Virat is one of those players who perform well in big tournaments. He is not in the best form, which is why Virat is training one and a half hours ago.
However, former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar suggested, I think Virat is trying a lot.
Virat is struggling with bad form In the first match of the Champions Trophy, Kohli had to struggle against Bangladesh to rotate a strike. He played 11 dot balls against spinners in the middle overs. Kohli could score 22 runs in just 38 balls before being dismissed by leg -spinner Rishad Hussain.
The star batsman was dismissed twice by leg -spinner Adil Rashid in the ODI series against England in early February. Last year, during India’s 0–2 defeat in Sri Lanka, he was also difficult to eat spinners against Sri Lanka.
