Dravid throws his weight behind Virat Kohli
. . .-100 . . . . . div , , p . , . , After being an absolute batting beast and shattering various records, Virat Kohli has lately been finding himself in the news for some wrong reasons. His batting has been under a lot of scrutiny in the last couple of years as fans and cricket pundits continue to demand more from someone who has given Indian cricket so many moments of joy. At this time, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid has backed the under-fire batter as he isnt worried about Kohlis form. In fact, the former captain showered heaps of praise on Kohlis work ethic stating that Virats hunger to do better for India has stayed the same as before. In addition to this, the veteran of 164 Tests, 344 ODIs and 1 T20I added that only hundreds cannot be termed as success and he is pleased as long as Kohli is contributing. It would be interesting to see how Virat fares in the 5th Test against England, starting from July 1 in Birmingham. Players go through such phases and I dont think there is lack of motivation and desire in Virats case. Going by the standards he has set for himself, people only see hundreds as success. But from a coachs perspective, we want contributions from him, whether its a 50 or a 60, Dravid said as he shared his views about Kohlis current form.
