Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli could not play the first ODI against England due to swelling in the knee. But his return to the second ODI to be played in Cuttack is believed to be fixed. If Virat Kohli plays another ODI, he can score a century at Barabati Stadium. Team India and fans are also expecting a great innings from Kohli.
Kohli is currently struggling with the form. He also failed in the Ranji Trophy. So everyone’s eyes are now on Cuttack ODI. However, if we look at the figures, Kohli’s bat has remained calm on this ground. In such a situation, it would be dishonest to expect a big innings from them.
Kohli’s figures
If you see Kohli’s figures at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, they are worrying. The right -handed batsman has played a total of four ODIs on this ground so far and not a single of these matches has scored a century from his bat. Kohli scored a total of 118 runs in these four matches. Kohli has also played a match against England at this ground in which he was dismissed for just eight runs. At the same time, he scored 22 runs in a match against Sri Lanka.
He has played a total of two matches against the West Indies on this ground, scoring 88 runs. In one of these matches, 85 runs were scored on his bat. These figures are disturbing that can increase India’s concern.
Kohli is counted among the great batsmen of the present time and the reason for this is his bat. When Kohli’s bat moves, then the soul of any team trembles. Regardless of the field, Kohli’s figures on that ground, Kohli has so much power that he can score a century against anyone anywhere.
Kohli does not matter how he has performed in the past. At this time, Kohli needs Rs. And he knows this. In terms of Champions Trophy, the remaining two matches for Kohli are extremely important in which he wants to get his form good and long innings.
