"I am not worried about Virat Kohli's form but it's good to see him back. Saw a couple of shots that made an impact, I just want him to be more sure about that. He is coming back and looked good. He was lucky to be dropped in the first over but whatever he was playing, he was there. I like his attitude not today but from the last ten years, and that makes him a much bigger player than anybody else," he said.
The World Cup-winning captain of India continued by saying that all Kohli needs is one successful game to get back in shape.
"I think, don't focus on runs for the country but understand that you are representing the country which is much bigger than that anything else. He should still feel he is representing the country. No player in every match will get zero but I think with his ability and talent he should not take time to come back into the form. He needs just one good inning to be back and I have no doubt about it," he said.
In India's second game of the Asia Cup 2022 against Hong Kong, Kohli will be fired up and ready for a great performance.
