The main topic of conversation in cricketing circles in 2022 has been the batting performance of former India captain Virat Kohli. While Kohli’s absence of centuries since 2019 worried Indian cricket, his overall form wasn’t a problem because he was consistently scoring well in all formats. But in 2022, his performance took a significant hit as he struggled to accumulate significant runs in Tests, ODIs, and T20 events (including IPL).
Virat Kohli recently spoke with broadcaster Star Sports ahead of the team’s pivotal Asia Cup match against Pakistan. He contrasted his current performance with his difficulties during the 2014 tour of England.
Virat Kohli claimed that his failures in England followed a trend, but that his current run drought is unimportant because he believes his batting is strong.

“What happened in England was a pattern, so it was something I could work on and sort of transcend,” the author said. As you correctly pointed out, there is currently nothing that you can refer to as evidence that the issue is there. Due to the fact that I can tell when I’m hitting well and, occasionally, when I start to feel my rhythm returning, that is really a simpler concept for me to absorb.
So that’s not a problem for me, whereas it was in England, when I didn’t feel like I was batting well at all. Therefore, I had to put a lot of effort into one area that may be exposed repeatedly, which I overcome; however, this is not the case at the moment, according to Kohli, who was speaking exclusively on the Star Sports programme “Game Plan.”
India, the two-time defending winners and most successful team in Asia Cup history, last defeated Pakistan in 2012.
