Virat Kohli Run Drought: IND vs ZIM – In a way to get his form back, a lot of experts are saying legendary batter Virat Kohli should play three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe. The former India captain’s barren run of form has seen him not score a single 50 in the six innings he played against England. Kohli has taken a break and is unwinding himself in Paris. It is still not clear whether he will play an ODI series against Zimbabwe. Former New Zealand opener Scott Styris feels even if Kohli plays it will be a lose-lose situation.

“I think it is a lose-lose for Kohli. I’d love to see him take a complete break from the game for a little while and come back.
