The name Virat Kohli is considered synonymous with success. Very successful batsman. A hugely successful captain, but now Virat Kohli's name seems to have rested. Every year many times we get news that Virat Kohli has been rested from such a series. The latest case is of the West Indies tour.
After finishing the ODI series against England, the Indian team will go to the West Indies. The first three ODIs will be played there and then there will be a series of five T20 International matches. Many important players were given a break from the ODI matches to be held there, but keeping in mind the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia in October, the selectors wanted the full-strength Indian team to land in the T20 series to be held in the West Indies. But no. Kohli needed rest. They have also been given rest.
After this news came, we calculated how much rest Virat takes. It has also tried to analyze how Virat's rest affects the performance of the Indian team. So let's see the complete facts and figures related to it without any delay.
Kohli is absent in 23% of India's matches
Virat Kohli became the captain of the Test team in 2015. In 2017 he was also made the captain of WHITE BALL cricket. That's why we have analyzed Virat's resting sequence since 2015. Since 1 July 2015, the Indian team played 311 international matches. Virat was absent in 73 of these matches. That is, during this time he did not play in about a quarter (23%) of India's matches. On a few occasions, he had to be out due to injury, but on most occasions, he was unavailable due to taking or being given rest.
The good thing is that there is no negative effect of Virat's rest.
If the best batsman takes a rest then there should be a bad effect on the team, but the power of Indian cricket has become such that Virat Kohli's rest does not have any negative impact. On the contrary, the winning rate of the Indian team increases even more. Due to the presence of Virat, the number of matches the Indian team wins, due to the absence of them, it increases by 17%.
Left the team after 36 all-outs, yet the team created history
Despite not being with Virat, Team India has won more than one victory. The biggest of these wins was in Australia in 2020-21. It was already decided that Virat would return to India after a Test match due to the birth of a child. In the first test, the Indian team was all out for 36 runs in the second innings. Virat returned.
It was believed that India would be eliminated 4-0 from here, but under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, young team India won two of the next three Test matches and drew 1. The series went 2-1 in the name of the Indian team.
Do not give importance to T20 International
Although Virat has taken rest from all three formats in the last seven years, he is taking a little more break from T20 Internationals. IPL also happens in the T20 format, but Virat does not take any break there, but since July 2015 till now he has taken a break from 45 T20 International matches of India. Team India has played 116 T20 matches during this period. That is, Virat has been absent from about 38% of matches. After this comes the number of ODIs. Since July 2015, he has stayed away from about 22% of One Day Internationals and about 10% of Test matches.
Afraid that comfort may not be permanent
Virat Kohli has not been in form for a long time. Not a single century has come off his bat for the last 3 years. In such a situation, the more rest they take and the speed with which new talented players are coming out, the fear is getting deeper. The fear is that Virat Kohli's rest may not become permanent. They should not be dropped from the team. What do you think?
