Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell believes Virat Kohli is struggling with Elite Performance Decline Syndrome (EPDS), impacting his recent performances. Kohli, scoring only 21 runs in his last three innings, has been tentative at the crease, Chappell observed. He suggests Kohli needs a 20-30 run buffer to rediscover his flow, much like cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting did during challenging phases. Kohli’s weakness outside the off stump has been exploited by Australian bowlers, raising questions about his Test future. As India prepares for the fourth Test in Melbourne, Kohli faces immense pressure to deliver.
