Virat Kohli, the star batsman for India, is having trouble returning to his previous level of play in red-ball cricket. He has only scored 190 runs, including a century, in the last nine innings. He desperately has to return to his normal self and perform well on the big stage as the Champions Trophy 2025 approaches. He has made his first appearance since 2012 at the Ranji Trophy 2024–25 set, which is subject to the stringent regulations of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Former India cricketer Ambati Rayudu has encouraged the critics to let the batter regain form on his own, as discussions about his declining form continue to heat up. Additionally, he gave up on competing in the domestic event.

In his article on “X,” Rayudu stated, “Basically, respect him, believe in him, and most importantly, leave him alone.”
