Brett Lee says Virat Kohli can take a break from cricket
Virat Kohli can think about enjoying some time off, clean up his brain and work on a couple of things, feels previous Australian speedster Brett Lee, a year in the wake of battling to look past the Indian when it came to the best hitter lately.
Kohli's unremarkable mission in the IPL-15 finished after Royal Challengers Bangalore's seven-wicket rout by Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier in Ahmedabad on Friday.
"Do I say it is a worry, I do. I would like him (Kohli) to score more runs obviously," Lee let PTI on Saturday know when gotten some information about Kohli's delayed lean fix.

In the continuous IPL, he opened the RCB innings in many games.
In the subsequent qualifier, Kohli pursued a quick, rising conveyance from pacer Prasidh Krishna, which was wide external the off-stump, to give a basic catch to Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson behind the stumps.
"The hardest thing is when Virat Kohli doesn't score runs, by and large the group doesn't get along nicely. At the point when we see Kohli had that purple fix, when he got 800-900 runs in that season (IPL 2016) his group (Royal Challengers Bangalore) fared pretty well. We need more from Kohli.
"A solid Kohli is serious areas of strength for a. Sadly he passed up a great opportunity in the semis; he was unable to get his group to go too far of his own bat, getting under 10 runs.
"Perhaps (it is) an opportunity for Kohli to return and give work a shot a couple of things and perhaps have a rest from cricket. Simply move away and spruce up the brain," added Lee, who is the brand minister of 'Sportsbet.io'. Close to this time last year, Lee had picked Kohli and Australia seamer Pat Cummins as the best batsman and bowler of the world.
"At the point when you take a gander at the new greats, it is difficult to look past Virat Kohli," Lee had said when asked who his number one Test hitter is in a meeting with ICC.
Dazzled with quick bowling ability in India This Indian Premier League has seen the rise of youthful pacers like Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Kamran Malik, Mukesh Choudhary, Arshdeep Singh and the 45-year-old Lee, who has 310 Test wickets, accepted this could prove to be useful when the nation plays in the T20 World Cup in Australia.
"The two Khan young men (Mohsin and Avesh) have genuine ability. The one thing that Indian cricket is creating is a decent index of quick bowlers. That's what I like. "They have great twist choices also yet absolutely assuming you are anticipating the T20 World Cup in Australia, you need folks that can bowl quick on the quick fun wickets," said Lee.
Pace sensation Umran Malik should play longer arrangement One of the greatest finds of the IPL has been Malik, who reliably dumbfounded 150 kmph and finished with 22 wickets for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
"Look he has been phenomenal, what Umran Malik conveys is unadulterated speed. I hope everything works out for him and I am trusting that he gets the potential chance to play the more extended organization of the game also," Lee said. PTI NRB AH.
