Still a lot of cricket left in Virat Kohli; he has to create path for that: Kapil Dev

Virat Kohli hasn't scored a century in international cricket and has been in a prolonged lean patch across all formats. With every low score coming off his bat, the debate on Kohli's poor form climbs up with the Men's T20 World Cup in Australia just three months away. Now, legendary all-rounder and 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev feels that Kohli has still got a lot of cricket left in him and pointed out that the talismanic batter has to himself create a way for getting back amongst the runs.

India vs England, 3rd ODI Preview: Focus On India's Batting In Series Decider

Jolted by a thumping defeat in its last game, the Indian team is expected to tweak its batting template from cautious to a more fearless one in the series-deciding third ODI against England in Manchester on Sunday.

India vs England 2022, 3rd ODI: India need to change batting approach in series decider

The team under Rohit Sharma did put up an ultra-aggressive batting show with a great degree of success during the recently concluded T20 International series but the manner in which it went about chasing a below-par target of 247 in the second ODI has left a lot to be desired. Rohit would put his hand up and admit that he and other veteran Shikhar Dhawan, were a bit on the defensive in the wake of some fine swing and seam bowling from Reece Topley and David Willey. That Virat Kohli's endless saga of failures has only compounded the problems is also a big factor but senior openers playing out two maiden overs at the start, didn't indicate a positive mindset either. Therefore, a change in approach is required and for that a paradigm shift in the mindset while going for the tricky run-chases unlike the first game at the Oval where the game was singlehandedly won by Jasprit Bumrah's six-wicket haul.

England's David Willey Back In Love With Cricket

David Willey said he had found his love of cricket again after being given a second chance at an England career. The 32-year-old all-rounder helped set up Sunday's one-day international series decider against India by starring with both bat and ball as England drew level at 1-1 in a three-match contest with a 100-run win at Lord's on Thursday. He made a valuable 41 with the bat and then the left-arm quick captured the prize wicket of Virat Kohli just when the star batsman was threatening to cut loose.

"Lured Us Into Believing...": Aakash Chopra On Virat Kohli's Innings In 2nd England ODI

In the second ODI at Lord's, Virat Kohli began his innings in stylish fashion, hitting three beautiful drives off England's best bowler on the day, Reece Topley. However, he flattered to deceive as David Willey had him nicking behind for 16 as England went on to eventually thrash the visitors by 100 runs to level the series 1-1. The match saw Kohli's lean streak continue and former India batter Aakash Chopra rued the fact that it looked like Kohli was set for a big knock, but fell flat in the end.
