Virat Kohli will return to his run-scoring ways in the Champions Trophy and lead the team's batting this year along with Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, reckons former India player Robin Uthappa. The 36-year-old Kohli's recent struggles in Test cricket have led to discussions about his career, but he has no plans to retire and aims to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup.

«Virat will score heavily this year and I think he's going to start doing that from here. I think Virat is there and thereabouts. He will be among runs very, very soon,» Uthappa, who has played with Kohli for India and RCB, told PTI Videos in an exclusive interview on Wednesday.
«I mean the standard of runs that we are used to seeing Virat score. So, I think it's just a matter of time.» he observed.
Kohli has been facing criticism for his form in Test cricket of late, and barring a hundred in the series opener in Perth, he has struggled to get going in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, mostly getting out to balls outside the off-stump.
Title contenders India begin their Champions Trophy campaign with a match against Bangladesh here on Thursday.
