When Virat Kohli's form went down, this friend immediately gave him the mantra of comeback, you also read the whole thing.

Cricket News Desk. Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis on Wednesday said Virat Kohli would be keen to put his struggling phase behind him and India's top batsman is capable of returning to form. Kohli had a poor performance during the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, scoring only 190 runs at an average of 23.75 in five Tests, despite starting with an unbeaten century in the first Test in Perth.

Du Plessis supported his Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate Kohli, saying that he will come back stronger after the struggle. He said that retirement is a very personal matter.

“It's a very personal decision,” Du Plessis said on Captain's Day in the third season of the SA20. No one can tell you when his playing time as a player is over, you will know. I know a player like him is very motivated. He has been through this situation before so he knows what to do.

Du Plessis, 40, recalled the day when he thought his time as a Test cricketer was over. “It's different for every player,” he said. Each player must answer this question. I remember when that time was for me. I certainly knew this from a Test cricket perspective. I didn't have the same hunger and passion as before and I felt this was the right time for new players to step into the world of T20. I wanted to do this when I felt I was at the top of my game.
