Former Australia cricketer Brad Hogg added that Virat Kohli’s failures with the bat in Tests is mainly due to his workload off the field. He added that Kohli is playing a lot of cricket, including IPL besides his off-field commitments as well.

Brad Hogg said on his YouTube channel: “And then all of a sudden, he’s got a family now. He’s got other commitments off the field that he didn’t have when he was really dominating all three formats around the globe. So, it’s not just about the cricket, it’s what happening off the field as well. I think it’s more the drama off-field than on-field more Virat Kohli. I just think he’s just got too much on his plate that’s probably caused him to not perform as well at this moment.”

Brad Hogg also believes that Virat Kohli has added burden of being an ‘elite’ player at the IIPL franchise RCB as well.

“13:58 – I think it’s probably more the volume of cricket that’s been played out at the present moment because you try and play as much you can for India in all three formats. And then you got the IPL and it is extended for a week or two as well. So, there’s a lot of pressure there as well because owners are spending big money on players in the IPL. Virat Kohli is the elite player at RCB. So, there’s a lot of pressure on him there,” Brad Hogg concluded.
