Virat Kohli is having a bad day, he is not getting any big innings from his bat. In the Test series against New Zealand, despite getting good pitches, he did not get runs from his bat and now the side-effect of this is that he has started getting advice after advice to get back in form. Those close to Virat have even said that every player in Team India has a replacement. When replacements for Gavaskar and Sachin are found, then Virat will also be found. Harbhajan Singh said this in an interview and Dinesh Karthik also advised Virat Kohli to play domestic cricket.
Harbhajan Singh said while talking to PTI that there is more than one player in domestic cricket and if he is given opportunities, he can become Virat Kohli in future. Harbhajan Singh said, 'Who said that options cannot be found. Gavaskar Sahab went, Tendulkar Sahab came. Tendulkar Sahab left, we got Kohli and it will happen in future also. Harbhajan Singh further said that it is important to give opportunity to domestic players at the right time. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and now Sarfaraz Khan, you got them from domestic cricket only. They just have to be given opportunities at the right time.
According to Bhajji, if players get a chance at the right time, they can become Virat-Rohit, while Amol Majumdar will remain as Amarjeet KP. Harbhajan said that it took 15 years for Virat Kohli to become Virat, so you have to find talent. Harbhajan said that how he came to know about Rohit Sharma that he is talented, he came to know about this only after watching domestic cricket.
Dinesh Karthik also gave advice to Virat Kohli. He said that Virat should play domestic cricket to come into his form. It was because of domestic cricket that he became the world's number 1 batsman. Karthik said that everyone knows what Virat is capable of. But we also cannot run away from the fact that he has not been in his best form for a long time. Virat Kohli's record against spin in the last 2-3 years has not been good.
