Talking about Kohli, the right-handed batter was struggling with his form ahead of the 2022 Asia Cup but the continental event saw him making a superb comeback. He ended as the second highest run-scorer in the tournament being only behind Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan.
The tournament also saw Kohli ending his almost three-year long drought of international century. He had scored 122 not out against Afghanistan.
Kohli continued his form with a 63-run knock against Australia in the third and final T20I of a bilateral series and then scored 49 not out against South Africa in the second T20I of another bilateral series that followed.
On the other hand, Team India had a poor outing in Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates as the team failed to advance to the final after losing to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super-4 stage.
India then went on to beat Australia 2-1 in a three-match T20I series before defeating South Africa with an identical result in a three-match T20I series that followed.
