Former India captain and batting great Sunil Gavaskar has said that there’s no need for any advice to Virat Kohli, who has been struggling for runs and a big score in the ongoing IPL 2021. In fact, Gavaskar felt that only some bad luck has been stopping Kohli from scoring this season and nothing else.
After 13 innings – including the one versus Punjab Kings on Friday – Kohli still averages below 20 – 19.66 – at a strike rate of 113; as many as six other RCB batters average better than the former captain. Kohli has bagged three golden ducks and 6 single-digit scores; his only fifty of the season so far came at a poor strike rate of 109.

Sunil Gavaskar said that Kohli has seen it all and has been one of the most successful batsmen in the game, but only needs some luck on his side. He stressed the misfortunes of Virat Kohli, pointing out the first-ball duck dismissal vs SRH.
Kohli bemoaned his luck as, after getting off to a good start, stroking a couple of fours and a six, a ball from Rabada under brushed his glove and hit his thigh pad and lobbed straight to the short fine leg fielder.
