Even Babar Azam wants to see Virat Kohli score runs, states Salman Butt

Virat Kohli's struggle to get big runs under his belt has been a topic of debate for quite some time. The former Indian captain failed to impress in the recently concluded series against England. Kohli could not even notch up a fifty throughout the tour which can be a worrying sign for the team management as they look to zero in on the squad for the marquee tournament slated to begin later this year.

“Even Babar Azam wants to see him scoring runs. Virat Kohli is a big player, there's no doubt about that. Any player can have bad patches, sometimes they can go frustratingly longer. People stop believing in you. But then, big players always come back,” said Salman Butt on his official YouTube channel.

“When he was enjoying a good run for many years, people used to say, 'this guy can never go out of form'. So, it's the human side of it. He should be backed instead of saying 'he has failed' again and again. It is a game of cricket at the end of the day”, he added.
