Before the Asia Cup 2022 tournament, former Indian captain Virat Kohli was literally struggling with form. Although he played some impactful knocks, he was just not able to score a century in international cricket.
The drought continued for so long that it took him nearly three years and still Virat Kohli didn’t score a century. However, his rough form eventually ended when he rose to the occasion and delivered the goods for India in Asia Cup 2022 tournament.
The right-handed batsman showcased his mettle by scoring his maiden T20I century and eventually putting an end to his century drought. Virat Kohli finished the Asia Cup 2022 as the leading run-scorer for India.
Anushka Sharma played a big role in Virat Kohli’s comeback
The senior cricketer scored 276 runs in five games including two fifties and a century and there was no turning back since then. Virat Kohli finished the ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2022 as the leading run-scorer with 296 runs.
It is worth mentioning that Virat Kohli amassed four fifties in the marquee event. However, one doesn’t know the other side of the story. When Virat Kohli was struggling to pile up runs, it was Anushka Sharma who kept backing him through and through.
The Bollywood actress played a massive role in Virat Kohli’s comeback from a lean patch. While speaking on JioCinema, Virat Kohli said conversations with Anushka Sharma have always been priceless.
Virat Kohli said Anushka Sharma tells him the truth and straight forward. He further added that if he would have left himself in that phase before Asia Cup, he would have become an egoistic maniac.
Kohli said, “Anushka Sharma brings me to base level for a normal guy.” Virat Kohli also ended his ODI century drought after 40 months by scoring a century against Bangladesh in Chattogram. Overall, Kohli has scored 75 international centuries (46 tons in ODIs, 28 tons in Tests and 1 ton in T20Is).
