Veteran India spinner Harbhajan Singh has extended his support to Virat Kohli who has been under the scanner for his lean patch with the bat in recent times. The batting maverick took a short break from cricket to manage his workload and now will play his 100th T20I match on Sunday against arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening match of Asia Cup 2022.
Harbhajan, who played a lot of cricket with Kohli, said that all the big players of the game went through a rough patch in their careers and backed Kohli to bounce back in a brilliant fashion in Asia Cup.
“Virat Kohli is looking very relaxed. His practice routine is still the same. His hard work is also of the same level. The runs may have dried up, but all the big players have gone through this phase, be it Wasim Akram or Sunny (Sunil) Gavaskar sir. Great players are those who rise after falling. I have no doubt that Virat Kohli will rise again and in brilliant fashion at that,” Harbhajan told Sports Tak.
“I am a Virat Kohli fan because he plays positive and attacking cricket. There has been pressure on him due to low scores, but he should not move away from his strengths. Virat will have to find a way out of this rut himself. All I can say is, if he sticks to his natural game, he will have better chances of being successful,” he added.
