Virat Kohli compares his current slump in form to his struggles in 2014. Kohli recently spoke with broadcaster Star Sports ahead of the team’s crucial Asia Cup match against Pakistan, comparing his current form to his struggles on the 2014 England tour.
Former India captain Virat Kohli’s batting form in 2022 has been the most talked about topic in cricket circles. While Kohli’s lack of centuries since 2019 was a source of concern for Indian cricket, his overall form was not, as he was scoring well across all formats. However, his scores have dropped significantly in 2022 as he has failed to score big runs in Tests, ODIs, and T20s (including IPL).

Kohli ahead of the team’s crucial Asia Cup match against Pakistan
Kohli recently spoke with broadcaster Star Sports ahead of the team’s crucial Asia Cup match against Pakistan, comparing his current form to his struggles on the 2014 England tour.
He stated that his failures in England followed a pattern, and that his current lack of runs isn’t a cause for concern because he believes he is batting well.
“What happened in England was a pattern, so something that I could work on and something that I had to kind of overcome. Right now, as you rightly mentioned, there is nothing that you can point out saying that the problem is happening here. So, that for me, is actually an easier thing to process because I know that I’m batting well and at times, when I start feeling that rhythm back, then I know that I’m batting well. So, that for me is not an issue, which wasn’t the case in England; I didn’t feel like I was batting well at all. So, I had to work hard on one thing that could be exposed again and again which I overcame; right now this is not the case,” Kohli said while speaking exclusively on Star Sports show ‘Game Plan’.
India is the most successful team in Asia Cup history, as well as the two-time defending champions. Pakistan won the tournament for the last time in 2012.
