Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam has come out in support for former India captain Virat Kohli after dismal form continues in the ongoing England series.
Currently, Virat Kohli is under constant criticism for his form. While most of the veterans are demanding to drop Kohli from the Indian team, the captain of the arch-rival Pakistan team has spoken in support of Kohli.
Kohli has consistently disappointed on the England tour and since then many Indian legends from Kapil Dev to Syed Kirmani have demanded that Kohli be dropped from the Indian team. Kohli is constantly being targeted, but the team management has shown faith in him and has supported him continuously.
However, despite all this, a good inning is yet to come from the veteran batsman’s bat. After disappointing in the Test match against England, then two T20Is, Kohli could not do much in the second match of the ODI series as well.
Following which, the criticism took another step. And meanwhile everyone is criticising Virat, Pakistan team captain Babar Azam made a post on Twitter, talking in support of Virat Kohli. He posted that this phase will pass soon and asked him to remain strong.
This too shall pass. Stay strong. #ViratKohli pic.twitter.com/ozr7BFFgXt

Meanwhile, Kohli has not been included in the Indian squad for the upcoming West Indies tour starting later this month. According to reports Kohli had sought rest from the West Indies tour. For this reason, earlier he was not selected in the ODI team and now he has not been included in the T20 team announced.
Kohli’s performance in all three formats this year has not been special, but his stature is so big that he cannot be dropped early. However, given the way Kohli has taken rest after every series this year, some tough decisions can be seen in the times to come.
