Former India captain Virat Kohli is awaiting an international century since 2019. In the recent ODI series against the West Indies he managed just 26 runs in three games. However, India’s batting coach Vikram Rathour is confident that the former skipper will bounce back soon. “He [Kohli] is batting really well in the nets. We are really happy with the kind of preparation he has been putting in. I am certain that in one of these innings [in the upcoming T20I series] he will bat well and score big runs,” Rathour said during a virtual press conference ahead of the team’s practice in Kolkata on Monday. After whitewashing WI 3-0 in the ODIs in Ahmedabad last week, Rohit Sharma & Co will lock horns with the Caribbeans in three T20Is, starting in Kolkata tomorrow.
Last ODI ton in 2019
Kohli, 33, who has 43 ODI centuries from 260 ODIs, got his last three-figure mark (114 not out) in an ODI against West Indies in 2019 at Port of Spain. He has played 21 ODIs since and has seven single-digit scores. Kohli’s best in T20Is (94 not out) came against the Windies at Hyderabad in 2019. Rathour however, insisted that Kohli’s form is not a concern. “I don’t think he [Kohli] is going through a lean phase.
