Team India’s batting coach, Vikram Rathour, has come forward and admitted that he is not happy with ace batter Virat Kohli’s performances in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Team India is currently unbeaten in the World Cup, but Kohli’s form in the marquee event has been a worrying aspect for the side. 

In the four games that Kohli has played in T20 WC so far, the star batter has scored 29 runs at an average of 7.25 runs. Despite the Men in Blue registering a dominant win against Afghanistan in their first Super Eight clash, Kohli once again failed to impress as he scored 24 runs in just as many deliveries. 

Ahead of India’s second Super Eight clash against Bangladesh, Rathour talked about Kohli’s struggle with the bat but opined that it is good for the star batter to be challenged sometimes. 

"I'm not happy. I would love it if he gets going and scores more runs. But yeah, it is good when you are challenged at times. You know, the guys who are not getting too much of batting in India sometimes, they are the ones who put up scores today and our middle-order came to play. So, it was good to see," Rathour was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda. 

We've always had depth as a team: Rathour

Furthermore, Rathour talked about how versatility in the squad is one of the biggest strengths that India possess right now. The Men in Blue played with three pacers and two spinners in the group stage; however, they went for three spinners in the Super Eight clash. 

"We've always had depth as a team, I believe. But yeah, these conditions maybe suit us more because we can afford to play two or three spinners at times. So that I believe can be our best team. That is our strength," Rathour said. 

"It feels like ... somebody like Axar (Patel) playing at eight gives you a lot of confidence because he can bat and he's bowling really well at the moment. So, it does give you a lot of options," he added.
