Rest will be helpful for him, hope to see a different Virat Kohli after the West Indies series: Ashish Nehra

Virat Kohli's struggles with the bat continue to be the biggest talking point in Indian cricket. That always happens when a superstar is performing well below expectations and the lofty standards he has set for himself. His blade hasn't been able to produce consistent big scores. He has not scored a century since November 2019. The question marks are hovering like dark clouds over India's run-machine Kohli. While India captain Rohit Sharma continues to back Kohli, former India fast bowler Ashish Nehra has also supported the man who stands at number 3 on the list of all time most centuries. Nehra, who is also from Delhi, like Kohli, is confident that the man with 70 international centuries under his belt will find big scores soon. "When you don't perform, not only (when it's) Virat Kohli, there will be discussions. There will be discussions even if you're not a player of Kohli's calibre. When you are playing, you try to focus on your game and not listen to so-called 'outside voices' from people outside the dressing room. It's important how your teammates, management, and selectors are backing you," Nehra said in response to a question asked by TimesofIndia.com during a media interaction.
