"PULL OUT OF THE IPL, FOR ALL YOU CARE": RAVI SHASTRI'S ADVICE FOR VIRAT KOHLI!

Ravi Shastri gives key advice to former Bangalore captain Virat Kohli.

Royal Challengers Bangalore's leading scorer Virat Kohli has been playing poorly in the current IPL series. He has not scored big runs in the matches he has played so far. He struck out twice on the first ball.

Former India coach Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli have given advice in this regard. Speaking on the occasion, he said, "I think a break is ideal for him because he has played non-stop cricket and he has captained the side across all formats. It will be wise of him to take a break. You know, sometimes you have to draw the balance. This year he is already into the tournament (IPL 2022), tomorrow if push comes to shove and you want to prolong your international career and make a mark there for 6-7 years, pull out of the IPL, for all you care."

“If that is the case, you have played for 14-15 years. Not only Virat, I'll tell that to any other player. If you want to play and do well for India, you have to draw the line where you want to take that break and the ideal break would be off-season where India is not playing and the only time India does not play is the IPL,” he said.

"Sometimes, you need to do that or tell the franchise I'll only play the half. Pay me half, as simple as that. Those tough calls need to come if you want to reach the zenith of your profession as an international player," he added.
