Former Cricketer Chandu Borde comes up with an advice for out of form Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli and his dismal form has got the entire nation worried. The star batter has been continuously failing to notch up big scores after ruling international cricket for several years. With Asia cup, a high voltage match with Pakistan and the mega event of the 20-20 world cup few weeks away, the batter’s form has become the hot topic of discussion in the entire country.

Many former cricketers have expressed their thoughts on the issue. While some have gone on to say that the batter should be dropped from the team, some are backing Kohli to make a strong come back soon.

Now, Chandu Borde, a legendary Indian player and former Chairman of the selection committee, has also jumped onto the bandwagon and has come up with an advice for the batter. During an interview with India TV, Borde came up with rather unique and simple advice for the former Indian captain.

He shared a story during the late 90s when the Indian team travelled to Australia.

"In 1968, we travelled to Australia. Their captain was going through a lean run. Sir Donald Bradman gave him some advice and asked him to hit every ball during the practice session. He came out and scored a 100 against us," said Chandu Borde.

He added that he would give the same advice to Virat Kohli ahead of Asia Cup 2022.

"I would give the same advice to Virat Kohli. 'Jao beta, net mein jao and har ball ko maaro'. But to be honest, no one really knows what works during a bad phase," Borde added.

The former Test player further said that all great players have gone through a bad patch in their career. Even stalwarts like Gavaskar and Tendulkar weren't immune to it.

"From Gavaskar to Tendulkar to me, every player goes through this. You get out on ordinary deliveries, and you get out while playing a good shot. So, I for one, haven't really seen a solution for the same."

Virat Kohli will next be seen in India's opening match in the Asia Cup against Pakistan on August 28.
