As Virat Kohli turns 36, former teammate Yuvraj Singh extends birthday wishes, encouraging Kohli to overcome his recent form struggles and make a powerful return to top cricket.
King Kohli Turns 36
On the occasion of Virat Kohli’s 36th birthday, former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message for his teammate and friend.
In his post, Yuvraj praised Kohli’s resilience, calling on him to channel his strengths and stage a comeback in the face of recent criticism.
“Wishing you a very Happy Birthday #KingKohli! The greatest comebacks emerge from our setbacks and the world eagerly looks forward to your solid comeback you’ve done it in the past and I’m sure you will do it yet again God bless! lots of love ”
The message comes just after India’s 0-3 series loss against New Zealand, a setback that has raised questions about Kohli’s performance, especially in Test cricket. He had a disastrous time during the whole series. Only 93 runs had come from Kohli’s bat in the last 6 innings at an average of 15.50. The highest he scored is just 70 runs in the second innings of the Bengaluru Test. Lastly, India got the most unwanted failure of 3-0 by the Blackcaps.
Yuvraj, who shared the field with Kohli in India’s victorious 2011 World Cup team, expressed faith in Kohli’s ability to bounce back, encouraging fans and supporters alike to remain patient.
Yuvraj’s Encouragement for Kohli’s Comeback
Acknowledging Kohli’s recent struggles, Yuvraj highlighted the mental resilience required to carry the weight of a nation’s expectations.
Kohli has faced intense scrutiny after his low scores in the New Zealand series, where he managed only 93 runs across three matches.
Despite this dip in form, Yuvraj believes Kohli’s past performances and resilience will shine through.
“The greatest comebacks emerge from our setbacks,” Yuvraj wrote, reminding fans that Kohli has weathered similar challenges before.
Kohli’s Form and Upcoming Border-Gavaskar Series
Kohli’s recent form in Test cricket has become a topic of debate, with his 2024 record reflecting an average below 23 across six matches.
As India prepares for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, supporters are hopeful that Kohli will regain his confidence and deliver a powerful performance.
Known for his mental tenacity,
Kohli has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure, and the upcoming series offers him a prime opportunity to silence critics and reaffirm his place in the Indian Test line-up.
Yuvraj’s supportive message has resonated with fans, who, like the former cricketer, eagerly anticipate Kohli’s return to peak form.
Kohli, often hailed as one of the finest batsmen of his generation, now faces the challenge of proving his enduring prowess on the field.
