Virat Kohli has been going great in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. He has scored three half-centuries already and is among the top run-getters in the league. The form is an extension of Kohli's performance for the Indian team in recent times. Since the 2022 Asia Cup, where he scored his maiden T20I ton, Kohli has been very consistent.

However, there was a lengthy period before the Asia Cup, where a century drought led to several experts pointing out that all was not well with Kohli. The ex India skipper even took a brief break from the game.
