5 Indian players who should be protected during IPL 2019

#2 Virat Kohli

Kohli is crucial to RCB's chances of winning IPL 2019

Virat Kohli takes his cricket very seriously, be it international cricket or the IPL. While it is good to have the winning attitude all the time, Kohli should be a little pragmatic in this IPL.

The 30-year-old is currently the best batsman in the world and perhaps will be the most watched player in World Cup 2019. Kohli likes to play hard cricket and gives his all on the cricket field which also makes him susceptible to injuries. And even though he is one of the fittest cricketers going around, India can ill afford an injury to Virat Kohli before the World Cup.

Virat Kohli recently stated that Indian fast bowlers should be allowed to miss the IPL to prepare for the World Cup. Kohli should also be mindful of the fact that his fitness is also of huge importance for the Indian team and he should consider taking a break at some point in time in the IPL this season.
