August 11, 2024 at 12:22 PMAfter shining in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, Virat Kohli returned to play for India in a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, he didn’t seem to be in top form during the series. In the first match, which ended in a tie, Kohli only scored 24 runs. In the following two games, Sri Lanka surprised everyone by defeating India, and Kohli’s scores were just 14 and 20 runs.
This led to criticism from fans who expected better performances from Kohli. Former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik commented on the situation, saying that batting in Sri Lanka, especially against spin, can be very challenging. He wasn’t making excuses for Kohli but noted that the conditions were tough for any player, not just him.
