The Rough Patch Still On Verge
Virat Kohli was unstoppable where he was scoring century for fun. In series with England it was Anderson who found a slight weakness which was strucking him, he found that Kohli trying to attempt the fourth and fifth stump which decieves his tendency because he played a lot of Cover Drive which is one his favorite shots. He got out frequently and the spark soon spread like fire.
He too struggled in Australia pitches as it was his first tour but he managed to cope up with it. Kohli too had figured out that their opponents to sensed his weakness so he adjusted his stance playing slightly upfront which gave him a better connection with the bat rather than chasing it. With this slight adjustment he able to excel in his batting.
The Rise Of Weakness And Prolonging On
After the World Cup of 2019 the performance with the bat became on set of patches. He was possesing the average of 72 in tests which dropped to 32. The consistency which he possesed was gone. The frequent knicks on out side off stump increased, the eager to chase the ball increased which dipped him completely. Though he performed good in some of the tournaments like in T20 world Cup in Dubai where he pulled off an unchaseable target. 2023 world was 50-50 where India lost the finals.

Still the team is having full confidence on him because when he delivers he does something big.
