Wasim Jaffer, former Indian opener, expressed concern over the lack of fluency in Virat Kohli's innings against Hong Kong in the group-A tie of Asia Cup 2022. He said on ESPNcricinfo's post-match programme (T-20 Timeout) that he is still worried about Kohli's fluency while batting that we have witnessed before.

The ex-player said, "I am still worried about his fluency. That fluency is still not there which we have seen before. I don't think we are witnessing fluency yet, even though he scored runs today." Jaffer also questioned the lack of intent by Kohli during the middle overs which created pressure.
