So, it is very easy for him to play a cameo and win the match for his team. But is it really a smart idea to keep him on the team just to hope that the day will come?
Not to mention not giving other players the chances that they probably deserve more than he does? Not a favorable situation for Virat Kohli.
The selection policy for the Indian national team is quite shitty. They retained Hard dick Pandya for many years despite not performing. And in case of Kohli, he has too many godfathers to be dropped. There is no dearth of talent and a lot of quality young players have impressed in the IPL. But the step from IPL franchise to national team is not easy. In case of players such as Umran Malik, who have powerful backers, it is easier. For players such as Natarajan and Venkatesh Iyer, one bad performance is all that needs to lose the position from playing XI.
