Virat Kohli, the poster boy of Indian cricket, is one of the batting pillars of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). This time, Kohli has become a burden for the team. Virat Kohli's bat has not had any momentum for a long time. The dashing batsman has played just one inning of more than fifty runs in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). However, his slow innings have been criticized in the cricketing community for losing the match. He is struggling for runs. Kohli experienced 'Golden Duck' in two consecutive matches in the ongoing IPL, which is a rare occurrence for a star batsman like him. Desperate to get back on the run, Kohli has changed his batting position and played in the opening innings, but nothing is working.
Kohli, who has taken himself to unique heights in his career, seems to be seeing the reverse side of the coin now. However, former RCB teammate AB de Villiers stood by his side in his rough patch. Critics have been informed that no one becomes a bad player just by playing badly in a few matches. He also reminded Kohli that he has to return after winning the battle of mindset. "A batsman stays 1-2 innings away from bad form," he said. ''Once the bad form grabs, it is hard to turn away from it. The mentality here is the real battle. No one becomes a bad player overnight. Kohli knows it, I know it too. ''
Due to his poor form, the situation is such that the former captain is being 'carried' by Bangalore this time. However, the Proteas legend thinks that Kohli can return to form with a change of heart. Kohli has to work with the emotional side to get out of bad times. He added, that the key to the solution depends on how he thinks and how his mind works. Villiers remarked that “No matter where you play, you have to play with a clear mindset and fresh energy and find a way out of bad form. ''
