‘Babar Azam, this one is for you’- Fans can’t keep calm as Virat Kohli posts a video featuring ‘This too shall pass’ remark

Virat Kohli, the Indian batter, was rested for the T20I series against Sri Lanka and much to the surprise of the Indian fans, the batter shared a reel on his Instagram story. While many focussed on the story, a few of them were quick enough to find that it was about passing through a bad time. 

Fans were too quick to recall Babar Azam’s Tweet for the Indian superstar when the latter was going through one of the toughest phases of all time. To add more, when Kohli was struggling to get things right, prior to the Asia Cup 2022, the Pakistani star came up with a Tweet in order to motivate the Indian superstar. 

Kohli’s recent Instagram reel was about a motivational conversation between two people and the first line was about going through a rough phase, which eventually came as an open invitation for fans to claim that it was all about Babar, although, it was shared only to motivate his followers. 

Could Virat Kohli get things right ahead of 50-over World Cup 2023?

India will take on other countries in the upcoming 50-over World Cup set to take place at home and it remains to be seen if the veteran would set his mindset right ahead of the much-anticipated tournament. Although one could argue that he is the best of forms in white-ball cricket, his lack of runs in the longest format of the game might as well come to affect his white-ball game, if he does not find a way out. 

Fans, on the other hand, would hope for the Indian batter to find his old touch and make a stunning comeback in the longest format of the game as well. Given that India are inching closer to cementing a place in the finals of the Test championship and possibly against Australia, Kohli’s form would be a concern and the upcoming Border-Gavaskar trophy might come as a perfect stage to regain the old touch.
