Mumbai, May 8 Former India and Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli is going through a lean patch in the IPL 2022.
The talismanic Indian batter was dismissed for a duck in the green jersey match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, leaving his fans disheartened.
Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh, who was present in the Star Sports office during the match, said he hopes Kohli regains his form soon as team India would need him at the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.
“It is quite disappointing to see Virat getting out on a first-ball duck. However, it doesn’t affect his stature. He was and will always be a great cricketer. I want him to come out of this bad phase soon because I want to see him do well for team India in the T20 World Cup,” said Ranveer.
During the match against SRH, Kohli opened the batting for RCB at Wankhede Stadium and the right-hander was dismissed on the first delivery bowled by Jagadeesha Suchith when he gave a simple catch to Kane Williamson towards the short mid-wicket.
“Virat is one of the best batsmen in the world. It was his third golden duck in IPL 2022, which is completely unexpected. I thought Virat would play a big knock today. He is definitely going through a bad phase but I want this player to be fully recharged before the T20 World Cup so that he regains his prime form for the big tournament,” added Ranveer.
