Virat Kohli has no aura, can be dismissed without any problem: Aakash Chopra

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra feels India’s star batsman Virat Kohli has lost his aura and is now a walking wicket in Tests. Kohli, in particular, has been in very poor form in Tests in recent years and hasn’t been at his best for a few years now. In the last Test series against New Zealand, Kohli scored 93 runs at an average of 15.50 in three Tests with only a half-century to his name.

Comment on Kohli’s formChopra revealed how the star batsman carries an aura like Sachin Tendulkar or Sir Vivian Richards. However, the former opening batsman feels that Kohli has lost his mojo and can now be dismissed without any trouble.

“Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar or Sir Vivian Richards, these players have an aura, they dictate when they come to bat. There was this kind of aura when Virat Kohli came too. Now when Virat Kohli comes, it seems Chopra said on his Youtube channel, “You can tell it from the body language of the opposing team ” he said.

Speaking further, Chopra highlighted Kohli’s constant lapse in judgement, poor decisions and lack of knowledge in controlling the ball.

Kohli’s declining runs since 2020

“Error of judgment happens over and over again. Sometimes the full toss is missed and on another occasion you go for a run after hitting the fielder directly. Sometimes you don’t know you have inside advantage or even outside advantage. Don’t take DRS once and don’t take it a second time, both were wrong,” he said .

Ongoing in 2024, Kohli scores 250 runs in six matches at an average of 22.72 with just a half-century to his name. Kohli’s Test figures have taken a massive hit; He scored only 1838 points in 34 matches, averaging 31.68 with two hundred and nine fifties. The test average dropped from 54.97 to 47.83 in 2019. Because of this, there was widespread debate about his place in the team. With the crucial Test series against Australia approaching, Kohli will be desperate to turn things around in the upcoming tour.
