This does not usually happen. The reason for this could be pressure or being away from cricket for a long time or anything else. A lot is going on on social media regarding this. But we should be careful that it does not affect both the players. If the performance is not better, they will not play.

Irfan Pathan gave advice to Virat Kohli

Irfan Pathan further said, ‘How can Virat Kohli come out of this? He just needs to take a quick single so he can change the strike. When you have 2 ducks to your name, you only need one run. But for this they do not need to be disappointed. If Virat is disappointed then he will not be able to enjoy his batting. He needs to enjoy his batting.
