IPL 2022: Virat Kohli is overcooked, needs a break, says Ravi Shastri
Virat Kohli is mentally "overcooked" and needs to take a break from cricket in order to serve the country for at least another six-seven years, feels ex-India coach Ravi Shastri. Kohli has been going through a lean patch with just two 40-plus scores to show in last seven innings for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the current IPL season. The 33-year-old from Delhi, who hasn't scored a century in the last 100 matches across formats, had stepped down from T20 captaincy both for India and RCB and also quit Test leadership, while he was removed from ODI skipper's role.

In the 2020 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), there was an intense stare-off between Mumbai Indians star Suryakumar Yadav and then Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli.

His knock of 79 off 43 and his 'calm down, I got this' gesture after the match have become famous, but another memory from that game that has stayed on is the stare-off between him and Kohli during his innings.

Virat Kohli's lean patch is turning into a massive rut as he continues to fail in his attempt at getting a big score. Without an international century for close two-and-a-half years now, Kohli's quest to find run scoring form took another hit on Tuesday as he was dismissed for a golden duck in RCB's match against Lucknow Super Giants.

IPL 2022, RCB vs LSG: Virat Kohli goes 100 competitive matches without a century
Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli is going through a terrible run of form for some time now and his string of failures with the bat continued with a first-ball duck on Tuesday in the IPL 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants at the D.Y Patil Stadium here. With that disappointing outing in the middle, Kohli set a dubious record, going 100 competitive games without a century.
