Virat Kohli Backed to Regain Form Amid Border-Gavaskar Trophy Struggles
India’s star batter Virat Kohli, despite his unbeaten century in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, has struggled in the following innings. Scoring just 7, 11, and 3 in his last three appearances, Kohli’s form has become a talking point in cricketing circles.
Rajkumar Sharma, Kohli’s childhood coach, has expressed confidence in his protégé’s ability to bounce back. Speaking to IANS, Sharma said:
“Virat is a senior player who knows his game and responsibilities towards the team. He adapts well to challenging conditions and will undoubtedly return to form. There’s no need to worry.”
Cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, while critiquing Kohli’s shot selection after his recent dismissal, highlighted the importance of leaving deliveries outside the off-stump. Sharma welcomed Gavaskar’s observations, stating:
“Sunil is a well-wisher of Indian cricket and a legend. His suggestions are always valuable.”

“Rohan’s vision for cricket is remarkable. He has been a strong supporter of all players—men, women, and juniors. The game has greatly benefited under his leadership,” Sharma said.
He also emphasized Jaitley’s openness to ideas, stating:
“Rohan often seeks my inputs, and his dedication to enhancing Delhi cricket is commendable. I’m confident his second term will bring even greater progress.”
