The 36-year-old is not unwell at batting at this moment. He tried to get a lot of runs when he played five games against Australia, but he only scored 190 runs. Even though he did score 100 runs in Perth, it was very difficult for him. His team from India also did not win the important games because they lost three out of four matches.
Virat Kohli won the T20 World Cup last year and then he came back to play Test cricket. But he couldn't score well. When he played in August and October at home, he didn't even score a 50. Kohli played against Bangladesh and New Zealand and the best he did was score 47 runs. Kohli scored 100 runs once in a game in Perth against Australia. It was his first game there, but after that, he had a hard time playing well again.
The Ranji Trophy came back after another important series, the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Because of new rules from BCCI, the most senior cricket players in India need to play in the Ranji Trophy. Many well-known cricket players became part of teams in the Ranji Trophy. Rohit Sharma, who is the captain of his team, played for Mumbai with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer. Ravindra Jadeja was on team Saurashtra. Rishabh Pant got to play with the Delhi team, and Shubman Gill was playing for Punjab.
