Former Australian bowler Brad Hogg suggested that Virat Kohli's recent decline in performance might be attributed to off-field issues rather than on-field matters, adding that BCCI's revised guidelines regarding family accompanying players during international tours could potentially add more pressure.
During the recently-concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy, Virat's performance was subpar, managing only 190 runs across 10 innings. His underwhelming display contributed to the scrutiny he faced following India's 1-3 series defeat against Australia.
