Kohli came back into Indian team after a short break and scored 35 against Pakistan.
Virat Kohli showed glimpses of his old touch during India’s five-wicket win over Pakistan in an Asia Cup 2022 match, and legendary Kapil Dev reckons that the star batter will not take more time now to return to his form with the bat.
The right-hander was in good form with the bat in his comeback match, scoring 35 runs off 34 balls under extreme pressure to help Team India successfully chase down Pakistan's target of 148.
After seeing his performance in his comeback match after almost one month break, the former captain said that Kohli has a great attitude and talent, which help him to bounce back strongly very soon.
Kapil Dev told ANI: “Good to see him come back. I saw a couple of shots where he really made an impact. I just want him to be more sure about that. So far, he is coming back, he looked good. He was lucky in the first over when he was dropped. I like his attitude not only today, but from the last ten years. This makes him a bigger player than anyone else.”
He added, “Representing the country is much bigger than anything else. No player will get runs in every match, no player will get a zero in every match. I think with his ability, his talent, it should not take him that long to come back in form. Just waiting for one big knock, he will be back, I have no doubt about it.”
Notably, Kohli has been struggling for runs this year but has not had much to his name in terms of impressive numbers in the previous 2-3 years across all formats. He has not scored an international century since 2019. He will be next seen in action on August 31 in the Asia Cup 2022 against Hong Kong in Dubai.
