Virat Kohli is in a better space now: R.Sridhar says break from cricket did wonders for star batter

Former India fielding coach R.Sridhar has claimed that Virat Kohli is now in a better space and said that the break from cricket has done wonders for him. Kohli has returned to form recently after his exploits in the Asia Cup.

Former India fielding coach R. Sridhar has said that Virat Kohli is in a better space now and the break from cricket has done wonders for him.

Kohli was struggling for form before the Asia Cup, where he was able to finish as India's highest run-getter and second in the batting charts for the tournament. The star batter had taken a break during India's tour of West Indies and Sridhar feels that it has done wonders for the former captain.

Speaking to cricket.com, as quoted by Royal Challengers Bangalore, the former fielding coach said that Kohli is in a better space now.

Sridhar also said after seeing the India star against Australia in Hyderabad, it seemed like he had returned back to his old self and it will be good news for India heading into the World Cup.

“He is in a better space now. Like he admitted himself, he was probably not in the right frame of mind and now has got it in the right place. The break has done him wonders; the time spent with his family has done him wonders. And we saw what he could do right in the first game against Pakistan in the Asia Cup.”

“After seeing him bat from ringside in Hyderabad, you can well and truly say that the king is back. Great mindset. He is fielding like a panther and his batting is brilliant. All in all, it augurs extremely well for Indian cricket going into the World Cup,” said Sridhar.
