Team India are set to begin their Asia Cup title defense from August 28. In what remains a big worry for the side is star batter Virat Kohli bad run of form from recent years. The former India skipper had a disappointing series against England following which he opted for West Indies and Zimbabwe series. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly shared his thoughts on Kohli's form recently. Notably, Kohli had scored only 33 runs in the two ODIs against England with 31 runs in two innings in the Test match and was dismissed on 1 and 11 in the two T20Is he played.

Speaking on Sports Tak Ganguly said, "Virat needs practice and has to play (more) matches. He is a great player. He is playing very well but not getting a century. Hope he will make a century in this Asia Cup. I am very hopeful."
