Virat Kohli's poor form continued in the second ODI against the West Indies in the ongoing three-match series at home.

Despite a strong start to his innings, the former India captain was dismissed for 18 off 30 deliveries after Jason Holder had him caught off an outside edge. Kohli had scored eight runs in the series' first ODI.

The wait for his 71st international century has been on since his last ton in November 2019, and his struggles at the crease have prompted comments from a number of former cricketers, including Aakash Chopra.

Reacting to Kohli's poor performance in the second ODI, the former India opener said that he "pays huge price for his own success."

"What is happening with Virat, he didn't score runs again, I mean I'm not able to understand it - how do you? Obviously, he pays a huge price for his own success because you compare him with his standard but at the moment, you are not measuring him with someone else's yardstick but the normal yardstick," Chopra said on his official YouTube channel.

Chopra went on to say that for the former India captain, it's "not just happening."

“It's just not happening; it's not happening at this point in time. He was in a hurry in the last match but here he was playing properly, coming in line, played a good cut and drive as well. Then one ball comes from Odean Smith and he remains slightly back, the ball takes the outside edge and goes,” said Chopra.

“This is probably the sign of greatness that you go through spells, there is a time when the runs are not scored. He is going through that patch.”

Earlier, the hosts were restricted at 43/3 after Rohit Sharma (5), Rishabh Pant (18), and Kohli were all dismissed for cheaply. Suryakumar Yadav (64) and vice-captain KL Rahul (49) put on a crucial 91-run stand to get the team back on track. In fifty overs, India reached 237/9 before bowling the visitors out for 193.
