Cricket fans worldwide have an emotional stake in the comeback of Virat Kohli, which has been rekindled by India’s recent defeat to England at Lord’s. Legendary India all-rounder Irfan Pathan publicly and sincerely urged Kohli to rejoin the national team after the disappointing performance, saying, “It’s not too late, please come back.” That’s a simple comment, but then it sums up the feelings of millions of Indian fans who long for the sight of him again in the blue jersey on international shores.

It was only in the score that India lost the Lord’s Test, it also revealed its middle-order frailties and its lack of a tried and tested match-winner in Kohli. Pathan’s emotional plea came shortly after the match, highlighting how critical his leadership, experience, and batting prowess could be in rebuilding India’s confidence, especially with major tournaments on the horizon.

Kohli, among Indian cricketers, has failed to make it to the tours for the last few months, and as a result, it is still called one of the most prolific cricketers in India’s history, by virtue of his stats, dependability, and ambition for excellence, defining a chapter in Indian cricket history. The team has seen new players being put in place of his role, but there remains a valid belief that his presence is critical, especially in international matches where high-pressure situations require composure and temperament for the big match.

Pathan’s remarks were not only aimed at the team management or selectors; they also resonated with the fans who have valued his contribution and passion for long. “We need that energy; we need that belief that Kohli brings when he’s out in the middle,” was Pathan’s emphasis on what many supporters and commentators have already called out.
