Before the tense Asia Cup 2022 match between the India National Cricket Team and Pakistan National Cricket Team, World Cup-winning captain and veteran all-rounder Kapil Dev has given vital advise to the current batting great Virat Kohli.
After a sabbatical of more than a month, the 33-year-old Kohli, who is going through a hard time, is ready to play again in the Asia Cup. Kohli took part in just one tour for India after the IPL 2022, the trip of England, which came to a disappointing conclusion. He took a break after the England series to rest up for the entire limited-overs series against Zimbabwe and the West Indies.
“I don’t think so. We shouldn’t even think about it,” Kapil responded to a reporter’s query about whether the Asia Cup 2022 is Kohli’s last audition’ before the T20 World Cup on Uncut.
“If we use terms like last audition, or last chance, I don’t think that is right. I just want to say to him that he should keep on playing matches. Sometimes, you shouldn’t be taking too many breaks. He is a professional and he should not have that problem. I personally feel he should play as many matches and as many matches he can play. That’s more important. When you start scoring runs, then the thought process changes.”
