Just before the second Test against South Africa, when Virat Kohli did not appear in the team hurdle, there was a possibility of a mess. After some time, when KL Rahul came to the field for the toss wearing a blazer with South African captain Dean Elgar, the suspicion turned into confidence.
The news came that Virat Kohli is not playing the match. Everyone was surprised, because Indian cricket has been in turmoil for some time now. After winning the toss, the first question from Rahul was raised on Kohli. The answer came that there is stiffness in Virat’s back.
Told Rahane that there is stiffness in the back
After some time the cameraman found Virat. He was on the field. Rahul’s words seemed to be true that there was a minor problem. He will be back in the next Test. Stretching Virat was roaming on the field. Sometimes showing Ajinkya Rahane the place of his injury and sometimes sharing the problem with Jayant Yadav.
Fans will not remember that Virat has ever missed a match due to poor fitness, but you will be surprised to know that Kohli did not have this problem overnight. He has been troubled by this problem since 2011. Kohli had told a few years back that he had a disc problem since his early days in the Indian team.
disclosed two years ago
India toured Australia in 2019, then off-spinner R. He shared his pain while discussing Ashwin’s injury. He had told that, ‘I have had disc related problems since 2011, this is nothing new, but I have been able to deal with it with physical effort over the years. If you have disk related issues then you have to deal with them like this so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.’
injury at the wrong time
Kohli was in pain during the Melbourne Test and was seen patting his back while fielding, but he has learned to deal with it in recent years. When Kohli of the field is going through many controversies. Chetan Sharma, chairman of the chairman’s committee, called him a liar in a way. The drought of centuries is not ending since 2019. How dangerous an untimely injury would be for Kohli, who is facing a professional crisis. Only time will tell this.
Is career in danger?
However, Kohli is not the only one who is facing such a problem, before him legends like Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman have also faced this problem. Ramji Srinivasan, a former trainer of Team India, has worked with both Sachin and Laxman. When asked, he says, ‘Kohli is at that stage of age, where he will have to adopt training techniques according to his body. Cricket skills are not gained by lifting heavy weights in the gym. Sachin later started playing in the top order. This was his way. Age is with Kohli now. There is no such thing as danger. He will definitely return.
