During a recent post cast with Jamie alter, Pragyan Ojha said, “When you speak about Virat Kohli, you have to comprehend what he has accomplished it is not normal. Getting those 70 hundred in about ten years is incredible. They (Dravid & Rohit) are aware that once he receives that one blow, things will change and Kohli would revert to his previous form. The bar was set so high when he used to bat and make hundreds that now we do not talk about Virat getting a 30 or 40.”

Pragyan Ojha also explained, “Once a batter of his calibre gets a few runs going, then things change drastically. And I am sure as I am hearing that after the West Indies tour, he will be going for all the series thereon. I don’t think he will take any breaks, which is a great thing. He should be doing that. I don’t think there is an issue in his skill or anything else. He’s been batting brilliantly, but sometimes how you handle yourself mentally matters.”
According to the latest report, the selectors want Virat Kohli to make a comeback before Asia Cup i.e., during the Zimbabwe tour. The team management is backing Kohli to be a part of the T20 World Cup and the fans would want the star batsman to get into his old self. As for now, Kohli is on a break and has time to work on his batting.
