Former India captain Virat Kohli needs no introduction today. He was in poor form for quite some time but has not stopped since he started scoring runs in Asia Cup 2022. However, his condition is not good in the red ball game. In such a situation, it should not happen that he gets out of the upcoming big tournament.
A 4-match Test series is being played between India and Australia (IND vs AUS), out of which Team India has won two matches. Now the third match of the series is to be played at Holkar Stadium in Indore. This Test series is essential for Team India regarding the ICC Test Championship because Team India will have to win three matches to reach the finals.
In such a situation, if Virat Kohli cannot return to form soon, then he can be out of this tournament and in his place, captain Rohit can give a chance to a great player.
This Player Will Replace Virat Kohli.
Former India captain Virat Kohli is currently struggling a lot in Test cricket. Kohli’s bat has remained silent in the last seven Test innings. He also flopped in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh last year. Also, Kohli’s bat was quiet in two matches against Australia.
In two matches against Bangladesh, Kohli scored only 45 runs, while in two games against Australia, the former captain has so far scored 66 runs with the bat. In such a situation, if captain Rohit Sharma is forced to drop him from the playing 11, Shreyas Iyer may have to give him a chance. Undoubtedly, Iyer can handle the responsibility of number 4 very well.
Iyer Is In Good Form
Significantly, if Virat Kohli drops in the final of the World Test Championship, then Shreyas Iyer can become his successor. This player made his debut against New Zealand in 2021 and scored a century in his debut match.
At the same time, his recent form in Tests has also been good. Against Bangladesh, Iyer scored 86 in the first Test, 87 in the first innings of the second Test and 29 not out in the second innings. Please tell that Iyer has so far scored a total of 640 runs in 8 Tests with the help of 1 century.
