5 out of form cricketers who got Virat Kohli’s backing
Kohli backs his players to the hilt and hopes for them to deliver.
3. Yuvraj Singh (ODIs)
It is no secret that Yuvraj Singh has enjoyed a decent amount of backing under Virat Kohli. Right from the time when he became the captain of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), he wanted Yuvraj Singh in the team. In 2014, RCB broke the bank to get the services of the Punjab southpaw.
However, after a slump, Yuvraj found himself not only out of the RCB side but also the Indian team. However, he fought his way back in ODI side in early 2017. Yuvraj struck his career-best score (150 against England) in just his second game after making a comeback. However, apart from that, he never really fired.
He was picked for the Champions Trophy as well later that year. Barring the first game against Pakistan in which he scored 53, there was hardly any contribution from the left-hander. Moreover, his fitness wasn’t at its best as well. He became a liability in the field as well. However, he still continued to hold his spot and it was only in the West Indies after he played three ODIs in that series that he was dropped.
