A Burden Has Been Removed From Virat’s Head: Saba Karim On Captaincy Change
Mumbai: After Virat Kohli was seen batting during the training session ahead of India’s three-Test series against South Africa, ex-India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim said it seems like a burden has been removed from Kohli’s head.
The former cricketer reacted to the photos and videos released by BCCI on social media, in which Kohli and his unit can be seen having a fun time training together.

Karim during a discussion on India News noted: “It seems a burden has been removed from Virat Kohli’s head. He can play with an open mind now, he can revive his Test career afresh. The expectation is that he will dish out performances like he was doing two years back.”
“If he bats with an open mind and approach, he can repeat those performances. I have full belief that the form he has shown in the practice sessions, the same form will be seen in the match as well,” he added.
Kohli has an impressive batting record in the longer formats of the game in South Africa. Batting at a healthy average of 55.80, the 33-year-old has scored 558 runs in five matches he has played in the country.
The right-handed batsman, who hasn’t reached the triple-digit mark for a long time, will take the upcoming matches as an opportunity to end the century’s drought.
