No More Test Peak? Former Indian Cricketer Feels That Virat Kohli Is No More A Legend

In the realm of cricket, few names resonate as powerfully as Virat Kohli. However, the cricketing maestro appears to be navigating through some rough waters lately, particularly evident in his recent Test cricket performances.

No More Test Peak Of Virat Kohli? Former Indian Cricketer Feels That Virat Kohli Is No More A Legend

A Dismal Test Season

Virat Kohli, now 36, has not managed to replicate his once-stellar form during the home Test season against Bangladesh and New Zealand. His tally of just 93 runs across three Tests against New Zealand paints a picture of a batsman struggling to find his rhythm. This performance starkly contrasts with the expectations set by his illustrious career.

Chopra’s Analysis

Delving deeper into Kohli’s form, former cricketer Aakash Chopra shared his insights on his YouTube channel. Chopra pointed out that Kohli managed only one fifty in his last ten Test innings, which he describes as uncharacteristic for a player of Kohli’s stature. “Kohli left a lot to be desired,” Chopra remarked, indicating that even in his less productive times, Kohli’s presence at the crease was formidable, but that aura has somewhat diminished.

The Diminishing Aura

Kohli’s batting has historically been marked by an indomitable spirit and an aggressive stance that often put fear into the hearts of bowlers. However, Chopra suggests that this intimidation factor seems to be waning. “When Kohli comes in now, it seems like he can be dismissed without any issues,” Chopra noted, reflecting on the body language of opposing teams which no longer shows the same level of apprehension.

Technical Troubles

Moreover, Chopra highlighted some recurring issues in Kohli’s technique during these matches. He observed that Kohli has been missing straightforward deliveries like full tosses and has shown lapses in judgment when it comes to running between the wickets or using the Decision Review System (DRS). “The error of judgement is happening repeatedly,” Chopra stated, suggesting that such mistakes are not just occasional but have become a pattern.

The Road Ahead

As Kohli continues to navigate this challenging phase, the cricketing world watches with bated breath. His history of resilience and comeback is well-documented, yet the current scenario demands more than just a comeback; it requires a strategic overhaul of his approach to batting. Kohli has always been known for his ability to adapt and overcome, but now, more than ever, his fans and critics alike are looking for signs of this legendary adaptability.

While Virat Kohli’s recent form might be a cause for concern, his legacy in cricket is far from over. The journey of a sports icon like Kohli often includes such troughs, which make the peaks even more spectacular. As the cricket season progresses, all eyes will be on Kohli, hoping to see the resurgence of one of the game’s greatest players.
