“How Virat Kohli can stop his struggle against spin” suggests This Former Star Indian Cricketer

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between Australia and India is soon to arrive. The two heavyweights’ fights are always carefully watched affairs. Virat Kohli’s performance in the forthcoming four-match series, which begins on February 9 in Nagpur, will also be highly scrutinised. In the limited overs formats, the star hitter has regained his form. His performance in the Tests might very well determine how the series pans out.

Former Indian Cricketer Irfan Pathan, gave an exclusive interview to Star Sports in which he discussed how Kohli will approach the Border-Gavaskar Test series and what he will be seeking to improve on.

“Therefore, the one thing he will be thinking about is how he will counteract Lyon’s and Agar’s spin. He has been having trouble with spin in particular, and I believe he can improve personally by trying to be a little more aggressive because I believe the strike rate against spin has decreased as well “Pathan stated.

I know we’re talking about Test cricket here, but he sometimes needs to be a little more aggressive against spin. It might help you in that match if you’re actually up against players like Nathan Lyon, who is exceptional with his spin, extra bounce, and ability to get that ball moving away from the right hander as well. So, I believe that’s something he should remember.

In his 20 Test matches against Australia, Virat Kohli has amassed 1682 runs at an average of 48.05. In seven tonnes against the Australians, he has scored.
