Virat Kohli was set to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record in international cricket but slump in form has made it difficult, reckons Rashid Latif

Rashid Latif is the new name to share his views on Kohli’s form saying that he was once looking to break the records set by Sachin Tendulkar in international cricket but the dip in form will now make it difficult for him to do so. Latif also added that his poor form has sort of reached the extreme. 

"Every player goes through this phase, some come out of it early, some take a long. Guys like Kohli have more pressure because they are attractions. Ravi Shastri and others have suggested rest but Virat Kohli knows best. When he was in form, he would score heaps of runs. The way he used to perform, Virat was set to break Sachin Tendulkar's record with ease, he had scored so many hundreds. He took it to the extreme. But now when he is dealing with bad form, that too has come at extreme, that too has peaked," Latif said on the YouTube show 'Caught Behind'.

"He has to come out of this rough patch himself. Everyone has the belief in him and he will come back, and the day he realised it himself, he will start doing it. Against Gujarat Titans, he has started doing it. I could see that touch. In the last few games, there were a few inside edged and things like that but the other day against GT, he hit a couple of crisp drives, played Shami well, he looks on good touch. If he can continue doing it, runs will come," he stated.
