The spotlight is back on Virat Kohli after another underwhelming performance in the ongoing India vs. Australia series. The former captain, often hailed as one of the greatest batters in modern cricket, has faced mounting criticism for his inconsistent form.
Some critics have gone as far as suggesting that Kohli should consider retiring from international cricket, drawing comparisons to MS Dhoni, who gracefully stepped down at the peak of his career. “Kohli should learn from Dhoni’s example and leave on a high note rather than prolong his struggles,” remarked a former cricketer during a post-match analysis.
Kohli, who has been India’s backbone in all formats for over a decade, has recently found it challenging to replicate his earlier dominance. In the Adelaide Test, he was dismissed cheaply, leaving fans and experts questioning whether the once-reliable “run machine” is feeling the weight of expectations.
However, many fans and teammates have rallied behind Kohli, citing his past contributions and resilience. Former cricketers have urged patience, suggesting that even legends experience lean patches.
As the debate intensifies, the focus now shifts to how Kohli will respond to these challenges—whether with a triumphant comeback or a decision to redefine his legacy. Only time will tell if this criticism will spark a resurgence or signal the twilight of his illustrious career.
