'He Has Made Up His Mind That He Will Play In One Way': Former Indian Cricketer Hits Out At Virat Kohli
'he has made up his mind that he will play in one way': aakash chopra hits out at virat kohli
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has said that ace India batter Virat Kohli's determination to play only aggressively is leading to his slump in form at the 2024 T20 World Cup. Kohli has aggregated 29 runs at a dismal average of 7.25. With just a travel day separating their remaining two matches, India would be hoping that the players, who haven't performed as per expectations till now, deliver the goods.
Top of that list would be the opening pair of Kohli and India skipper Rohit Sharma, both of whom have got starts but haven't been able to turn them into defining innings.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra was asked about the reason behind Kohli's lack of runs, considering that he was in brilliant form in IPL 2024. Notably, having finished with the Orange Cap, the Indian team management gave him a go at the top but he has nothing to show for that promotion.

"The main reason for that is the New York pitch. Batting has been difficult on the New York pitch, and he has made up his mind that he will play in one way. It's said that Virat Kohli is challenged less from outside," Chopra said.
Chopra said that great players like Kohli try to look for new challenges and do not change their approach even if they cannot score runs on some occasions.
"When you reach that stage - Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Brian Lara, Vivian Richards - you find challenges for yourself to motivate yourself, to get the best out of yourself. When you try to find your upgraded version, at times, when you make a commitment to yourself, you don't flip," Chopra said.
