Legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev on Tuesday said on former India captain Virat Kohli’s return to the Indian team for the Asia Cup.
The World Cup-winning India captain Dev said, on his comeback against Pakistan Virat Kohli looked good and will be soon back in form.
“I am not worried about Virat Kohli’s form but it’s good to see him back. Saw a couple of shots that made an impact, I just want him to be more sure about that. He is coming back and looked good. He was lucky to be dropped in the first over but whatever he was playing, he was there. I like his attitude not today but from the last ten years, and that makes him a much bigger player than anybody else,” Dev said.
Meanwhile, Dev further said Kohli only needs one good knock to return to form.
“I think, don’t focus on runs for the country but understand that you are representing the country which is much bigger than that anything else. He should still feel he is representing the country. No player in every match will get zero but I think with his ability and talent he should not take time to come back into form. He needs just one good inning to be back and I have no doubt about it,” Dev said.
Earlier on Sunday in the opening of the Asia Cup campaign against Pakistan in Dubai Virat Kohli scored 35 runs from 34 balls. Although India won the first match against Pakistan by five wickets.
Moreover, the former cricketer is struggling hard for his form and it’s been thousand days since Kohli has not scored an international century.
