David Lloyd made a big statement about Virat Kohli's future Former England cricketer David Lloyd has made a big statement on Indian batsman Virat Kohli's Test cricket future, saying that Kohli's time has come to an end. Kohli has been going through a poor run of form in Test cricket recently and did not put in any memorable performances in the last Test season.
Although he scored a century in the first Test against Australia in Perth, he could not continue his form. As the Australian bowlers took advantage of his weakness outside the off stump.
Questions about his place in the Indian Test team – Lloyd Due to Kohli's poor form, questions are being raised about his place in the Indian Test team. Lloyd recently shared his opinion on Kohli's poor form. On the off-stump weakness, he said, that weakness will be attacked once again when he comes to England.
His performance may harm him- Lloyd Virat Kohli knows that he is now many times past his best and this type of performance could hurt him again, Lloyd told talkSPORT Cricket. When the Indian team comes to England, you know where their target will be. Outside off stump, and then onto the slips. At 36, he knows what he has to do. Your reflexes begin to slow down. He played a bit longer, Ponting said. Selectors should understand this. He is one of our greatest players but his time is up now. Coach Gautam Gambhir will have a big influence on this as he has been in the dressing room. They have lost time. His time is up.
After 13 years, Virat Kohli will be seen playing Ranji Trophy Virat Kohli last played Ranji Trophy in 2012. Now after 13 years Virat Kohli Ranji Trophy games can be seen. He has been included in Delhi's 41-man probable list for the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy.
