Former India skipper Virat Kohli is on a break and is not playing the white-ball tour in the Caribbean Islands. Before going on a break, he was having a torrid tour of England across formats and could hardly score around 100 runs in total. Before the series, Kohli had taken a break during the South Africa series. Once again, the right-hander has taken a break and is reported to come back for the three ODIs in Zimbabwe.

Meanwhile, former India left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha has said once a player of the caliber of Virat Kohli gets going, things can change drastically. The former revealed that after the ongoing break, the Delhi player will play in every series. The former left-arm spinner feels that if the 2008 U19 World Cup winner doesn't take any more breaks, it might be a great thing for him.

"By comeback, I am talking about getting runs. Once a batter of his calibre gets a few runs going, then things change drastically. And I am sure as I am hearing that after the West Indies tour, he will be going for all the series thereon. I don't think he will take any breaks, which is a great thing. He should be doing that," Ojha told Jamie Alter on his Glance chat show, The Alternate View.

The Hyderabad player added that there is no problem with Virat's batting. The former feels that the 33-year-old might be stuck somewhere else mentally which is why he is taking regular breaks.

"When you look at Virat's batting, it is not about the skill or that he's not timing it well or his fitness has taken a beating. He's just there, and I think better than others with his work ethic and discipline. The only thing is that maybe mentally he's a little caught up somewhere. Maybe that's why he's been regularly taking breaks," Ojha added.

Meanwhile, there is no official word on Kohli's comeback from the break as of now.
