Although the team has several players, Virat Kohli, the renowned top-order batsman, is the one to keep an eye on. Since 2024, the Delhi-born hitter has struggled to score runs and has not been playing at his best lately. Even though many fans and experts are doubting his form, Virat’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma has supported Kohli and believes he will perform like a champion in the forthcoming ICC event, citing his previous efforts that have shaped him into the legend he is today.
In anticipation of their Champions Trophy campaign, the Indian squad has already reached the Dubai International Stadium and begun training for their opening match against Bangladesh on February 20.
“A player is not necessarily out of touch just because some of their games might have gone poorly. His contributions to the nation are evident when you review his prior records. Rajkumar was quoted by India Today as saying, “I think he’ll be playing like the champion player he always has been.”
The Champions Trophy record and past accomplishments of Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli has amassed 529 runs at an average of 88.16 from 13 games, which is impressive in the Champions Trophy. During the competition, he has made some noteworthy runs, including as the crucial 43 he scored in the 2013 finals and the 96 he scored against Bangladesh in the 2017 semifinals.
His most recent ODI series was a three-match series against England, in which he averaged 28.50 and scored 57 runs in the two games he played. On the final ball of the 19th over in the first innings, Adil Rashid removed him after he had reached a half-century in the third ODI in Ahmedabad.
