During an interview with ANI, the former India captain highlighted that Kohli looked in good touch in his comeback game. He opined that the star batter just needs to be more sure about his shots in the upcoming fixtures.
He pointed out that while India’s No.3 got a reprieve early in his innings after Fakhar Zaman put down a difficult chance at second slip, he managed to stay at the crease for a long time. Dev further added that Kohli’s attitude sets him apart from the rest.
He explained:
He further added that the seasoned campaigner is just one knock away from rediscovering his form. The former cricketer suggested that Kohli shouldn’t worry about his form and should instead take pride in representing the country.
He added:
Kohli, who returned to the side after a short break, played a crucial knock of 35 against Pakistan. He steadied the ship for the Men in Blue after they lost KL Rahul in the very first over of the run-chase.
“The only thing that I am worried about sometimes is his injuries” - Kapil Dev on Hardik Pandya
