Virat Kohli Drops Out of ICC Test Rankings Top 20: Sunil Gavaskar Comments on Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli’s drop from 20 in the ICC Test batting rankings signifies his descent into oblivion, marking the first time this has happened since 2014. His form has deteriorated due to his previous couple of Test matches. Kohli, for so long counted among the best batsmen in cricket worldwide-falls down into 22nd rank with only 93 runs scored in three games, a marked low for him in his lustrous career.

The drop from the rankings highlights the intense competition that the contemporary players must now contend with. The likes of Joe Root and Marnus Labuschagne have been gracing the top echelon of Test cricket with some sublime performances. Kohli’s dip in form has sparked discussions on what can a player expect in the long run; given age and heavy workload, what goes under consistency as far as high-profile players are concerned? Fans and analysts are still holding out hope for Kohli’s return, given his past form and his resilience in the face of challenges.

Sunil Gavaskar Comments on Virat Kohli:

Sunil Gavaskar recently remarked on Virat Kohli’s performance and the expectations everyone has of him as he heads into the BGT against Australia. Gavaskar highlighted that Kohli should assist Rohit Sharma to perform well under the last Test conditions, especially after India’s hiccups in the Test cricket format.

This series is seen as crucial, with Gavaskar implicitly suggesting that the side could reconsider its senior selections should Kohli fail to deliver, particularly with India facing tough conditions overseas. He also said that he is confident about Virat getting much needed runs for India in Australia in Border Gavaskar Trophy.
