If he is that busy with his personal life, then he should take some time off and stay with his family, right? If he thinks that playing domestic cricket will result in a downgrade, then I can't help. Legendary players such as Sachin Tendulkar and Steve Smith have played domestic cricket frequently despite their national commitments. Anyway, no one will force Virat to play domestic matches. If he don't want to play, then he don't need to. The decision by BCCI to allow family members to travel with the national team squad for overseas tours need to be revised. I guess that is causing a lot of issues and resulting in lack of focus.

I agree that he should take a break otherwise, I don’t think he will be able to play better any time soon. I really hate to comment on anyone's personal problems. Right now, personal issues are likely the only explanation for Virat Kohli's poor performance. He knew that when he married the Bollywood star, he was entering a life of glamour. But I don’t think he’s going to be able to handle that. Because his professional life is having a lot of negative effects.

@Sithara007 I’m waiting to see will Rohit and Dravid take the bold call of dropping Kohli, because if he’s choosing to avoid domestic cricket to get better then he should definitely be dropped. Furthermore dropping him temporarily could be the key to remind him why he needs to perform, and maybe then he’ll start performing again but if he yet fails then the selectors will have to consider about permanently dropping him.

At this point, there is no debate about this. Virat Kohli must be dropped for both the sake of him and the Indian team. Otherwise, nothing is going to be pleasant from this point on. I really hope that Virat Kohli also understands that. And at this point, I don’t think it’s about what Virat Kohli thinks. It should be about what is right for the Indian team.
