Virat Kohli Will Perform Like a Champion: Childhood Coach Backs India Star-Batter
Despite concerns over Virat Kohli's recent form, his childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma is confident that the star batter will deliver a "champion" performance at the upcoming Champions Trophy. The tournament starts on February 19, and all eyes will be on Kohli to see if he can overcome his recent struggles.
Although Kohli scored a half-century in the third ODI against England in Ahmedabad, his overall performances have been questioned, particularly after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and his dismissal for five runs in the second ODI against England. However, speaking at the Restaurant Cricket League in Delhi, Rajkumar Sharma dismissed these concerns, stating that a few bad matches do not define a player of Kohli’s caliber.
The coach reminded everyone of Kohli’s impressive record in the Champions Trophy, where he scored 529 runs in 13 matches with an average of 88.16. His consistency and decisive knocks in important games make him a key player for India.
