It won't take too long for Virat Kohli to be back in form: Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev has said that star batter Virat Kohli looked good on his comeback against Pakistan in the team's Asia Cup 2022 campaign opener and it will not take him too long to be back in form. India won their opening match against Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday by five wickets and chased down the target of 148 in a thrilling last-over finish. Kohli was the joint top-scorer for India, along with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, as the former India captain played a solid knock of 35 of 34 balls. "Good to see him come back. I saw a couple of shots where he really made an impact. I just want him to be more sure about that. So far, he is coming back, he looked good. He was lucky in the first over when he was dropped. I like his attitude, not only today but from the last ten years. This makes him a bigger player than anyone else," said Kapil in an exclusive interview with ANI. Questioned on how Virat can evolve from criticism coming his way, the 1983 World Cup-winning captain suggested that Kohli needs to understand that ups and downs are part of a sportsperson's career. "It is much bigger than anything else. No player will get runs in every match, no player will get a zero in every match. I think with his ability, his talent, it should not take him that long to come back in form. Just waiting for one big knock. He will be back, I have no doubt about it," he added.
