Meanwhile, Kohli has been in incredible form in recent times and smashed 639 runs in IPL 2023 including two centuries. He tried his best to take RCB to the playoffs with back-to-back centuries in the last two league stage matches but the defeat against Gujarat Titans ended their jersey.
The batting maverick also scored a sublime Test century against Australia in the last match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy ahead of the IPL 2023.\
Recently, former BCCI selector MSK Prasad said that the 34-year-old has set a very high standard for himself and the captaincy added a bit of extra pressure on him during his tough times.
“He did not have a very great 2021-22. But that is because we expect a lot from him. He has set a very high standard for himself. He has to score hundreds in every match, otherwise, it is a failure. But he is a human after all. The captaincy pressure had him struggling for a while, but once he regained his rhythm and clarity, he did not look back. He has been in amazing form since last year’s Asia Cup, and has made centuries in all formats,” Prasad told ANI.
