IND vs WI | Don’t think Virat Kohli is going through a lean phase, says Vikram Rathour

India inflicted a clean sweep over West Indies in a recently concluded three-match ODI series. The middle-order performed well for the team in the series and the bowlers also provided wickets at crucial stages. However, the form of former Indian captain Virat Kohli was an issue of concern for the team. It was one of the rare occasions in Kohli’s career where he wasn’t able to cross the 50-run mark in any of the fixtures. 

The right-hander has been waiting for a century since 2019 when he hit a ton against West Indies. He has scored several fifties since then but wasn’t able to convert them into big scores. Since last year, Kohli has scored 271 runs from nine ODIs. Rathour has revealed that Kohli is doing well in the nets. 

Rathour also added that the upcoming T20I series will be a preparation for the World Cup in Australia scheduled to be played this year. 

“With the batting that we have, I don’t think we have any issues. All our batters are capable of batting well in those conditions,” he stated.

“Till we have everybody available it’s difficult to make sure what their role going to be. But so far that’s the focus. We have started our preparation for Australia.”
