By Virat Kohli Needs To Show More Concentration- Saba Karim: Former Indian wicket-keeper batsman and former national selector Saba Karim believes that Indian batsman Virat Kohli needs to show more concentration and willpower to score big. Let us tell you, right-handed batsman Kohli has been struggling with the bat for a long time in all three game formats.
Virat Kohli made a great start in the second ODI at Lord’s on July 14, but David Willey caught him for 16 runs, and Team India suffered a 100-run defeat against England. After this defeat, the three-match ODI series is tied at 1-1 between India and England.
Virat Kohli needs more concentration and willpower: Saba Karim
Saba Karim said during the discussion on Sony Sports: “I think Virat Kohli needs a little more concentration and determination or strong will to come out of this bad phase.
Kohli got off to a good start several times, but he could not progress to big scores, and this story has been with him in every match. That’s why we all keep saying that he is playing well, but he needs a big score.”
He added: “It has always been Virat Kohli’s specialty to let the ball come close to his body and then play his shots. But the way he was getting out, and the way he got out in the second ODI too, the ball was too far outside the off-stump, and it cost him dearly to flirt with him. He tried to flirt with the off-side ball, and the result was that he got out again.
Saba Karim also sheds light on Virat Kohli’s dismissal pattern
Meanwhile, Saba Karim also shed light on the former India captain’s dismissal pattern and expressed doubts about whether the bowlers are setting her up to be dismissed like this.
The former Indian wicket-keeper said: “I see a pattern in Virat getting out. We saw in Test matches that he played a great drive from the front foot, so are the bowlers setting him up like that?
Because bowlers would first pitch the ball over Kohli so that he could put himself on the front foot, they would shorten the length a bit and try to take his wicket there. I think the most important thing for Virat is that he first understands it and then finds a solution. He can escape this bad phase if he is ready to change his game plan.”
