Following India's semi-final victory over England, Sharma expressed optimism about Kohli's form, stating, “He’s a quality player. Any player can go through that. We do understand his class and his importance in all these big games. Form is never a problem because when you’ve played cricket for 15 years, it isn’t a problem. He is looking good, the intent is there. He’s probably saving for the finals.”
