He will return to the Indian team for the Asia Cup 2022 towards the end of August.
Former Indian Captain Virat Kohli has been dealing with poor form and also not in a great mental space as per reports.
Virat Kohli will stay back in London with his Wife and Family and will completely avoid Cricket for a Month.
He skipped India Tour of West Indies and now he will Return in Asia Cup for Team India from end of August 2022.
Virat Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma and Daughter Vamika already with him in London and he will also be joined by his mother Saroj Kohli.
The Kohli family is set to move to an undisclosed location for the break to recover from the mental fatigue caused by being constantly questioned about his place in the team.
A member of the selection committee was quoted saying, “There will always be a low after high and that is exactly what Virat is going through. But considering the team, nobody is immune. Ajinkya and Pujara too have been dropped and so did so many other cricketers. He will certainly feature in the T20 World Cup if he is fit. But that will be his last chance as we have to look at the team as well. If he doesn’t get his form back, he will be asked to go back to domestic and get his form back.”
But India’s current captain Rohit Sharma has backed his star player and said, “He has played so many matches, over such a long period of time. He is such a great batter, so he does not need reassurance.” If Rohit’s support was not enough, his English counterpart Jos Buttler too backed Kohli to regain his touch, and said a big knock is “always due” from a player of his caliber”.
