Virat Kohli's Consistency issue In Indian Cricket Team

• The first and foremost is the inclusion of Virat Kohli in the squad. Kohli is one of the best batters in the world. His inclusion in the team after sitting out the whole Caribbean series isn’t surprising. The old adage goes, form is temporary, class is permanent.
• However, playing the highest level of cricket on a regular basis is necessary for every player irrespective of how big they are. Virat Kohli has only made four T20I appearances this year. If Kohli is indeed in the plans for the upcoming T20 WC, then sitting out from the WI tour wasn’t a good idea.
• Moreover, his struggle with his form is apparent in both domestic as well as international cricket. He could only manage two fifties in 16 innings when playing for RCB in recent IPL. Nevertheless, Kohli should have played against WI, and now will play in the Asia Cup to get his form back.
• Kohli was rested for the recently concluded West Indies tour, but the 33-year-old is back in the mix for Asia Cup and it would be interesting to see if he is able to end the rough phase of his career. The Asia Cup will be his first international outing after July 17, 2022. Meanwhile, India’s first contest will be on August 28 when they face arch-rivals Pakistan in their campaign opener.
• It is important for the team and himself that Kohli finds his range soon as India would want their very best in full form for the big event.

• On the contrary, KL Rahul did well in the IPL and scored 616 runs for LSG. However, after the IPL, he did not get any game time on international cricket. This is where KL Rahul will face an immense challenges. Jayawardena added, “That (Rahul's lack of cricket) would be a concern for India.
• He has been out for a little while since the IPL, so having game time is quite crucial especially out there in the middle.
• The sooner he can get some game time and get that confidence back, is always going to help him, as well as the national team.
• Further, KL Rahul has also made a return to the side after he recently missed out on plenty of cricket due to a groin injury, followed by Covid-19. Rahul was given rest during the West Indies series as the management wanted him not to strain his body. Notably, Rahul has not played any cricket after the Indian Premier League.
