Virat Kohli test comeback rumors: Recently, Team India had to face a crushing defeat of 0-2 in the Test series at the hands of South Africa in its own home. This defeat not only broke the hearts of the fans but also started a new debate in the corridors of cricket. The batting of the Indian team looked so disintegrated that everyone started remembering legends like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin. Suddenly the discussion became heated in the media and social media that BCCI might request Virat Kohli and other senior players to take back ‘retirement’ and save the Test team. But now, the Board has dashed these hopes. BCCI said – ‘All this is an empty rumour’. The fans’ hopes got a blow when BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia denied these reports. He said in clear words, “The talks being held about Virat Kohli are just rumours. The board has not talked to Kohli about his comeback nor is there any such plan. You should not pay attention to these floating news.” It simply means that the board is in no mood to take a ‘U-turn’ and will repose confidence in the new team only. After all, where did this fire come from? Actually, all this commotion started after a report by ‘Cricbuzz’. It was claimed in it that considering the poor condition of India, the board can contact Virat Kohli. There was also news that another retired senior player (possibly Rohit) may also be ready to make a comeback. The truth is that Team India is going through a bad phase at the moment. Coach Gautam Gambhir is calling it a ‘transition phase’. Players like Rohit, Kohli and Ashwin had left the Test last year itself. Now even Pujara and Rahane are not there. In such a situation, our new batsmen are struggling on the spinning pitches. Pietersen said – ‘Let them come for cricket’. Former England legend Kevin Pietersen also jumped into the matter. He said on these rumours, “I don’t believe in these news, but if there is even a little truth in it that Virat and Rohit want to return to Test, then it is a big thing. To keep Test cricket alive, it is necessary to have big stars. If they want to play, then they should definitely be played!” Kohli’s bat is still speaking Even though the suspense on Test return is over, but Virat’s bat is not calm. Currently he is playing ODI series against South Africa. And what a great game they are playing! In the first ODI match held in Ranchi on Sunday, Kohli led India to victory by scoring a tremendous century. This proves that whatever the format, Sher has not aged yet. So the conclusion for now is this – Virat may not be returning to Test cricket, but his charm in colorful clothes will continue.
