Kohli needs to show patience and faith in himself: Gavaskar

India has qualified for the super eights stage of the ICC T-20 World Cup. The form of their ace batsman Virat Kohli would however be a cause of concern. Kohli has merely scored 5 runs in the 3 games India has managed to win so far. “When you get three low scores, it does not mean he is not batting well. Sometimes you get good deliveries. On any other day, the ball would have gone wide or over the slip for a boundary, today it didn't. So, there is nothing to worry about. We have to show faith in him...believe that he is going to come good, sooner rather than later,” Former Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

Kohli has managed to come out of rough patches in the past. He was the highest run getter in the 2024 edition of the IPL. “The biggest motivation for any player is to win matches, especially when you are playing for your country. He has done so well for India over the years and won so many games. I think he recognizes that. We are in the early phases of the tournament. There are Super 8s, semi-finals, and hopefully the final. All he needs to do is show patience and faith in himself, which I think he has plenty of,” Gavaskar added.
