The 33-year-old has been suggested by many, including former coach Ravi Shastri, to take a brief hiatus.
The last couple of months, beginning with the humiliating T20 World Cup exit and the leadership transition of the Indian team, have been eventful to say the least.
Despite being among the runs in the ODI format as of late, Kohli has been far from his best when it comes to his flow.

“Rohit Sharma is god-gifted” - Saba Karim
Rohit Sharma led the troops from the front in his first ODI as full-time captain of India. After restricting West Indies to a paltry total of 176, Sharma scored a half-century to get the run chase going.
The 34-year-old was in his usual good touch despite coming out of an injury that caused him to miss the South Africa tour.
Karim added:
Sharma’s dismissal triggered a mini-collapse for India in the middle overs. However, Suryakumar Yadav and Deepak Hooda took the hosts to safety with an unbeaten 62-run partnership for the 5th wicket.
