'Go sit on the beach' - Michael Vaughan advises Virat Kohli to go on a long break

Virat Kohli's lack of form has become the talk of the cricketing world. Former players, coaches, commentators, and fans have presented their best solutions for the former Indian captain to gain his run-making form.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan, known for his quirky yet honest opinion on the game, has asked Kohli to go on a sabbatical, which could help him find his footing.

Vaughan, speaking to Cricbuzz, said, "I look at Virat in particular. I knew he had a little bit of a rest at the end of the IPL. But he just looks to me like he needs a sabbatical. He looks like he needs three months away from cricket.

"Go and sit on a beach. Go and do what you can with your family because a career of 20 years, which he probably will end up getting (runs) because he's such a good player. To have a three months break, is it going to affect him? No. Will it help him? Yes".

Since hitting his last international century in 2019, Kohli has seen his form slump gradually across all formats.

In the last Test that Kohli played, his indecisiveness cost him his wicket repeatedly.

The Ashes-winning captain also lashed out at authorities for scheduling the 3-T20I between India and England with a short turnaround after the Test.

"I just look at the schedule for India and England. It's ridiculous. We'll see more and more of this over the next few years. It's just impossible that all-format players will be able to play all three formats.The management of all these teams are going to have to be very clever in terms of giving them a breather," the 47-year-old concluded.

Kohli will likely be drafted in the XI for the second T20I against England at Edgbaston on Saturday.

Rohit Sharma-led India have a 1-0 lead over Jos Buttler-skippered England, who lost the 1st T20I at Southampton by 50 runs.
