Former India skipper Virat Kohli will be playing his first match at home after giving up captaincy across formats. The West Indies series, including three ODIS and T20Is each, will be a chance for Kohli to get some runs, and former cricketer Reetinder Singh Sodhi hopes the right-hander gets another purple patch in his career. While speaking in a discussion on India News, Sodhi quipped that a lot has gone down in the past few months with Kohli but it is important he looks ahead and gets back to dominating the opponents.

As per the quotes in Hindustan Times, Reetinder Singh Sodhi said, “Until some time back, he was the captain of the Indian cricket team in all 3 formats. Now, he’s not the captain in any format, so a lot has transpired in the last few months. Now, the Indian cricket team and the entire nation wants to see Virat Kohli, the champion batter he’s always been, back.”

He further added, “We have a lot of important tournaments coming up, including the World Cups, and it’s important for Virat to contribute. We want to see Virat Kohli at the peak of his form. A champion player always competes with himself and never runs after records. If he decides to shatter his own records, then imagine what will happen to the opposition.”

Recently, Virat Kohli took part in the three-match ODI series against South Africa. Despite the ‘Men in Blue’ suffering a clean sweep, Kohli managed to hit a couple of fifties and finished as the fifth-highest run-getter. Only Shikhar Dhawan scored more than him from the team.
