Kohli scored his international century in 2019 against Bangladesh, unable to notch a 71st ton since.

The right-hander was dismissed cheaply again in the ongoing second ODI against England as David Wiley removed him for 16 courtesy of outside off-stump delivery.

National selectors did not clarify whether the top-order batter had been dropped or was merely rested over injury concerns ahead of the T20 World Cup in Australia.

But the Pakistan skipper is still hopeful and believes that every cricketer has to face such critical situations once or more but that good times sooner or later replace the bad days.
