The prominent Indian batsman Virat Kohli is not yet at the pinnacle of his career, according to Salman Butt, who served as the captain of Pakistan in the past.
Before Kohli ended a long wait for an international century by blasting an unbeaten 122 against Afghanistan in last year’s Asia Cup, his form was a matter of discussion. However, this wait was finally over after Virat Kohli performance.
Since then, the man who used to captain India has been in spectacular shape, blasting three hundreds in one-day internationals. Butt is of the opinion that Kohli has not yet reached his “full potential,” and he likened him to the previous captain of Sri Lankan cricket, Kumar Sangakkara.
“The greatest is yet to come out of Virat Kohli. Even though he has recovered his fluency (after a dry spell), he is not yet back to the full flow of his previous abilities.
During some of his most productive years, he was virtually unbeatable. When you look back at Kumar Sangakkara’s career, you’ll notice that the manner he played in the later stages of it was just incredible.
When he was younger, he didn’t play in the same way that he does now. This has been the experience of a great number of players “Butt stated on his own channel on YouTube.
Butt made the observation that the star batter needs to adjust a few aspects of his game in order to perform at his highest level.
“The amount of cricket played in current times has become significantly more intense. Therefore, playing an excessive quantity of international cricket might be detrimental to a player’s health.
Intelligent players determine the format they want to play in and concentrate on it. When that occurs, they will be able to keep going to the same class. When it comes to determining his future, it will be up to Kohli to make the decision. On the other hand, I have a feeling that he will improve “he continued.
When India face Australia in a four-match Test series, beginning with the series opener in Nagpur on February 9, the spotlight will once again be on Kohli’s form. The series will be played in Australia.
