Virat Kohli’s poor form in the T20 World Cup has brought in opinions from several cricketers, experts and fans alike. However, few people have seen Kohli’s game from up close better than former India coach Ravi Shastri. Both of them shared a great bond as coach and captain of Team India in all formats.

After Kohli’s failure against England in the semi-final, Shastri said that he should stick to his natural game without trying to be overly aggressive.

“This is not his game. He’s going too early for it, especially with Rohit Sharma playing aggressively at the other end. He is more orthodox, but he can make up quite easily if he spends more time at the crease,” Shastri said on Star Sports.

Against England, the Indian opener smashed a huge six to Reece Topley before getting dismissed just 2 balls later after only scoring 9 runs.

“When he tries to get out of his zone, he will get out in that fashion. He has tried to manufacture shots that are not there. You should do that when you’re in top form, when you’ve got 300 runs in the competition. When you’re looking to break free when the runs are not there, it’s not easy. The key word is rhythm,” Shastri added.
