Former Indian batter Sanjay Manjrekar feels that Virat Kohli found his “power game” again in the Asia Cup 2022.
Sanjay Manjrekar said that the star Indian batter has been trusting his power game and he knows that he is able to score runs off good balls as well.
Virat Kohli ended his century drought in Asia Cup 2022, where he scored his maiden T20i Century and also ended 1000 days century drought.
In the Asia Cup, Kohli scored 276 runs in five matches at an average of 92 and a strike rate of 147.59 with a top score of unbeaten 122.
“See, right from the Asia Cup every match that he (Kohli) got runs, not just the runs, there was some improvement coming,” said Manjrekar on Sports18’s daily sports news show Sports Over The Top. “I think the power game is back, he’s trusting his power game. There was a time when he was getting runs but his power game was not coming at his beck and call, that is starting to happen. He’s dispatching good balls for big boundaries and sixes.”
Now it’s about putting these performances in main event: Manjrekar
“It’s all about confidence, this is a guy who’s damn self-confident and drives himself to excellence but for long-time runs weren’t coming and his confidence was tender. But during the Asia Cup, slowly and steadily, certain things start to happen, the pull shots came in, and the sixes started going more into the stands than just going over the rope as it was going in the IPL,” added the former Indian batter.
