Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is counted among the best players in the world. He has won many matches for the India team because of him. Kohli is like that sun in Indian cricket who has inspired other players with his brilliance. Watching him play, many young players kept him on the cricket field. Kohli is the only player who was able to reach Sachin Tendulkar’s mountain record and when everyone believed that only Kohli could break Sachin’s record of 100 centuries, he alone was dropped from the playing XI.

fell from playing eleven
Virat Kohli made his ODI debut for India in the year 2008. Since his debut, he has become the backbone of the India team batting order. He coined a new definition of batting in ODI cricket. The ability to win matches while chasing made him a master of the chase. He became the new god of cricket fans after Sachin Tendulkar. He became the team’s necessity in all three cricket formats. Whatever the terrain in the world, Kohli raised the flag there. It doesn’t matter how difficult the situation the Indian team has been in has been. If Kohli is in the crease, the fans expect him to win the match and he lived up to that expectation by winning over the Indian team.
Virat Kohli was at the top of cricket until the year 2020. There was no batsman in the world even around him. Fans expected Kohli to break Sachin Tendulkar’s 100th century record, but now it doesn’t seem possible. Kohli has become a victim of coach Rahul Dravid’s experiment and is not included in the playing XI itself, so how will he break Sachin’s great record?
experiment victim
He was named in the playing XI in the opening match of the ODI series against the West Indies, but did not get a chance to bat. He was then given rest from the second and third ODIs. All these experiments occur at a time when the World Cup is coming up and there are constant changes in the team. I don’t know what kind of team coach Rahul Dravid, whose playing XI doesn’t include a superstar hitter like Kohli, wants to make. There is no point in dropping it right before the World Cup. If manager Dravid hadn’t wanted to keep him in the playing XI, he would have been rested from the ODI series against the West Indies, but no. He first selected in the team and then did not remain in the playing XI. This is not a good strategy for the coach of any team. That too when Team India has not won a single ICC tournament in the last 10 years.
The hope that Virat Kohli had given the fans that he would break Sachin’s record and go with a good preparation for the World Cup, when Kohli will not play in the playing XI, then where the record will be broken from. What right did coach Rahul Dravid have to shatter the hopes of millions of fans? Due to Dravid’s experiment, the India team had to face 6 wicket defeat in the second ODI against the West Indies. They made that experimental laboratory, which is not capable of giving any results. Dravid is doing the exact same thing with Star Kohli, like the roti is about to sink and you turn off the gas. All cricket pundits agree that Team India has no better batsman than Virat Kohli for number three. Still, just before the World Cup, someone else is on trial in his place in this position. Kohli is currently 34 years and 269 days old and that 2023 ODI World Cup could be his last. The fans also want him to say goodbye by winning the World Cup like Sachin Tendulkar and scoring many runs in the World Cup.
not get a chance to play
Virat Kohli scored 368 runs in 8 matches in the year 2020, 129 runs in 3 matches in 2021, 175 runs in 8 matches in 2022, 427 runs in 2023. This year he has also scored 2 centuries. He is running in excellent shape, but he is not given a chance to play. He is the only Indian batsman to have played more than 100 matches in all three formats of Test, ODI and T20. He has 76 centuries in all three cricket formats and trails only Sachin Tendulkar. As a cricket fan, he is a request to the manager Dravid that if he experiences in the team, he should also give the result. Now, in the year of the World Cup, cricket fans cannot tolerate another defeat.
