New Delhi: Team India will start its campaign in the Asia Cup today (August 28). The team has to play its first match against Pakistan. The match will start at 7.30 pm Indian time at the Dubai International Stadium. Even before this match, former Team India captain Virat Kohli has come into discussions due to his statements. Recently, Kohli has given a statement, in which he confessed that recently he was mentally weak too. Now Bollywood actor Kamaal R Khan (KRK) has taken a dig at this statement.

I simply can’t understand, when #ViratKohli himself is accepting that he is having depression problem, then how he is in the team for #AsiaCup2022! Are selectors also having depression problem?

KRK has said that Virat Kohli himself has admitted that he is mentally weak. He is in depression. In such a situation, how did he get selected for a big tournament like Asia Cup? In his tweet, Kamal also asked the selectors of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) if they too were under depression. Kamaal wrote in his tweet that, I simply can’t understand, when Virat Kohli himself is accepting that he is having a depression problem, then how he is in the team for the Asia Cup 2022! Are selectors also having depression problems?'
In fact, recently Virat had said, 'I am always seen as someone who is very strong mentally. I am like that, but everyone has a limit and you need to recognize that limit. Otherwise, things can go wrong for you. This time has taught me a lot, which I couldn't understand. When these things came, I accepted them. 'I have no problem admitting that I was mentally weak too.' It was a very normal thing, which I felt, but we do not speak out of hesitation. We don't want to look mentally weak. Trust me, pretending to be strong is far more deadly than admitting to being weak.
