TIL Desk Sports/ Batting stalwart Virat Kohli is mentally “overcooked” and needs to take a break from cricket in order to serve the country for at least another six-seven years, feels ex-India coach Ravi Shastri. Kohli has been going through a lean patch with just two 40-plus scores to show in the last seven innings for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the current IPL season.
The 33-year-old from Delhi, who hasn’t scored a century in the last 100 matches across formats, had stepped down from T20 captaincy both for India and RCB, and also quit Test leadership, while he was removed from ODI skipper’s role.
Shastri feels the likes of Kohli need to be handled with care and empathy amid the COVID-19 restrictions which has confined players inside bio-bubbles. “I am going straight to the main guy here. Virat Kohli is overcooked. If anyone needs a break, it’s him,” Shastri told.
