Afghanistan legspinner Rashid Khan doesn’t think that Virat Kohli is out of form. Instead he thinks that the people have quite high expectations of the Indian that he’ll score a century every two matches.
“Whenever he plays, his shots never indicate that Kohli is out of form. In my view, he’s not out of form. See the expectations are quite high. People expect that after every two matches, Kohli will score a hundred. If you look at his Test innings, he has battled tough moments and then he has scored 50s, 60s and 70s before being dismissed,” Rashid told Sawera Pasha on her YouTube channel.
“People would call any normal batter (under these circumstances) to be in the form of his life. He has raised expectation to such a level that people expect him to score a century,” he added.
Rashid said he has spoken to Kohli and that the 33-year-old isn’t worried about what others think of him.
“I spoke to him during IPL. He’s never been the one to be concerned about what others think of him. It’s an example for us the way he prepares. The way he prepares, we are motivated and train harder,” Rashid said.
