Virat Kohli,the best player in the world, has attained the number 1 spot in T20 rankings too,dragging Finch apart.Finch has suffered hamstring in the match and he is even doubtful playing in the T20 WC.Now,India is about to play against Sri Lanka in Feb9. India has decided to rest him after his stellar performances in the just concluded T20's.
If Virat is dropped,who will be at No.3?
Virat always played well at no.3. Rahane can anchor the innings well and it's true that he can't explode like Virat.Instead he can only anchor the innings and rotate the strike well. But in T20's he can give his attacking batting also,but not to that level of Virat and he is not that much experienced like Virat in T20 International format. Striking all the cases,even his fitness is doubtful.Now,its time for India to check who can be at no.3?
Form Virat is looking for:
The Delhi dasher is in red hot form.He is at a striking average at T20's too.This will be good for the upcoming big event like T20 WC.If he is rested,then question arises?Can he be able to carry his momentum to T20 WC? All we need to do is to wait and watch.After T20 vs Srilanka , Asia Cup is going to be played in the T20 format for the first time.It is true that,Asia Cup is as important as T20 WC for Asian countries.The Asia Cup has been played like that in the past times.If this relaxation time for Virat killed his momentum,then he would be looking to find his form.Then,India might lose the natural aggressive playing nature of Virat Kohli. Rohit Sharma,Virat Kohli and at times,Shikhar, only carrying India home at every instance.Even if anyone of them fails,then India is at damaging position.
On the whole,Virat is in good form now.He is rested and this may have huge impact on his preparations.He might lose his touch in this time and then he could only manage to perform decently well and he would find very difficult to find his old touch.If he is determined enough,then he can find his form and this resting won't affect at all. This move is really not a good one provided the form he is carrying now,because is not like Kane williamson or Steve smith who are supreme players at all times. He will perform well provided only when he is in supreme form,he will do that and he will carry his team to victory (though kane and smith are not best in T20) .We have seen him struggling in WC Semifinal and some occasions after that.
Anyway,lets hope for the best.
