This is too much… even the ugly one got beaten, why is Babar’s formula not being applied on Virat?

New Delhi. Virat Kohli is going through bad form these days. Despite this, the team management is continuously giving him/her opportunities. Talking about the last 7 innings, he/she has been able to score only one half-century. In the first three innings of the ongoing Test series against New Zealand, he/she has scored one half century with his/her bat, while once he/she could not even open the account. At home, he/she is continuously giving wickets to spin bowlers. his/her biggest weakness now is spin bowlers. A batsman of Virat’s stature is currently struggling for every run. So can’t the Indian team management drop him/her from the team on the pretext of ‘rest’? Like what happened with Babar Azam. Babar Azam, who was considered equal to Virat, was recently shown the way out by the selectors. Babar’s fault was also that he/she was not able to score runs in the last few innings. Indian management should also apply Babar’s formula to Virat. Because now the limit has been reached and even the ugly one got beaten.

If we look at the last 7 Test innings of Virat Kohli, his/her scores during this period have been 6,17,47, 29, 0, 70 and 1 run. Before New Zealand, India had invited Bangladesh for a 2-match Test series at home. During this period, India defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the Test series but during this period, Kohli failed to perform as expected with the bat. It seemed that Kohli would play a ‘Virat’ innings at home against a weak team like Bangladesh but he/she disappointed. Kohli’s scores against Bangladesh were six, seventeen, forty-seven and twenty-nine. he/she scored a total of 99 runs in four innings of that series. Actually, Virat’s bad form started from here.

‘This was the worst dismissal of Virat’s career’
In the first innings of the second Test match against New Zealand in Pune, when Team India needed a big innings from Kohli’s bat, he/she walked away after scoring just one run, leaving the team in the middle. his/her account was not even opened in the first innings. Seeing the way Virat was clean bowled for one run against the spin bowler, Ravi Shastri had to say that this was the worst dismissal of Kohli’s career. Because no one had seen Virat playing such shots before. Seeing the way Kohli batted the full toss ball, it seemed that the thought of leaving the ball and playing was going on in his/her mind. If KL Rahul flops in one or two innings, he/she is dropped from the team but this does not happen with many star players of Team India.

Virat scored his/her last test century 596 days ago
It has been a long time since Virat Kohli scored a century in Test. his/her last century came 596 days ago. In the year 2019, Kohli had scored a century in the Test against Bangladesh. If we look at it since 2020, his/her performance in Tests has been lackluster. If Kohli remains in this form, the Indian team may have to bear the brunt of it in the 5-match Test series on Australia tour next month.

Babar Azam yearns for one half-century in 18 innings
Now let’s talk about former Pakistan captain Babar Azam. Babar’s status in the Pakistani team is that of Virat. But after failing with the bat in the last few innings, Babar was dropped from the remaining two matches of the ongoing 3-match Test series against England. The selectors made the excuse of ‘rest’ after dropping Babar from the team. Babar Azam failed to score a half-century in the last 18 test innings.
