Irfan Pathan Explains Why India Needs Virat Kohli “In Top Form” For T20 World Cup
Irfan Pathan Explains Why India Needs Virat Kohli: Irfan Pathan, who played cricket for India in the past, claimed that current captain Virat Kohli needs to rediscover his form for the side to do well in the Twenty20 World Cup in 2022. The Asia Cup is now underway.
The amount of discussion on Kohli’s current form appears to be growing steadily. The right-hander has appeared to be entirely out of sorts recently and has been unable to get going. The right-hander earned his last hundred in a Test match against Bangladesh in November 2019, and since then, he has been unable to get going.
His most recent appearance was during the England tour, although it was a disastrous trip for him as he performed poorly in every game, including the Edgbaston Test. He was last seen in action during the England tour. Since then, he has been given some time off, and he will be joining the Indian team again in time for the Asia Cup in 2022.
Many people have even begun to question his status in the team, and the Asia Cup will be a fantastic platform for him to restore his form. However, it is also fair to argue that he will be under pressure to produce because the bench strength is so high.

During an interview on Star Sports, Irfan Pathan stated that although the Asia Cup is significant, Virat Kohli will be India’s deciding factor in winning the Twenty20 World Cup 2022 in Australia later this year.
I think, yes, the Asia Cup is very, very important. Still, when I look forward to the World Cup, where the pitches will be very, very good in Australia, which he likes, he thrives on Australian pitches, and he’s done really well, Irfan Pathan said. “As far as the mind is concerned, what Virat Kohli will be thinking, what kind of mindset he will be coming in with and playing the matches, I think yes, the Asia Cup is very important.”
Pathan thinks that India’s chances of success in the Twenty20 World Cup hinge on Virat Kohli’s performance in the Asia Cup.
Therefore, it is essential for Virat Kohli to be in peak form for the Indian team. Virat Kohli and the Indian team are both in a position to benefit from this situation because he will return from the Asia Cup in excellent shape. The Indian team can choose from a wide variety of possibilities, yet, they must decide.
“Because you need someone who is in good form going into the World Cup,” he said. To compete in the World Cup, you really need to be in form. The World Cup is not the place to find your form. “But I am really positive that he will do well in the World Cup,” he remarked.
It is anticipated that the right-handed batsman will rediscover his lost mojo in time for the Asia Cup 2022. Kohli will play again after taking a vacation, and the conditions in UAE will favour batters.
