Virat Kohli has been the mainstay of India batting-line up for quite some time now.

He has been going through a purple patch with the willow, as he played well in the recently concluded Australia tour.

When ICC World T20 is round the corner and is scheduled to take place in India, surprisingly, Kohli was rested for the forthcoming Twenty20 series against neighbors' Sri Lanka.

Now the question that is hunting the cricket lovers is, whether Kohli requires a break from cricket? Especially, at a time when Team India has started its preparations for the coveted trophy, scheduled to be held between March-April.

Before the world cup begins, three-match series against Sri Lanka is the last chance for Team India to play at home.

Even an Asia Cup is also lined-up ahead of the World T20, but that is going to take place in Bangladesh.

Now it would be interesting to see, whether Kohli will manage to sustain his top form when he joins the national team, possibly during the Asia Cup or the strategy to rest the best backfires.
