Speaking on Star Sports where he is commentating during the IPL, Shastri said, “I am going straight to the main guy here. Virat Kohli is overcooked. If anyone needs a break, it’s him.

He needs a break because he has got 6-7 years of cricket left in him and you don’t want to lose that with a fried brain.”
