  1. Virat Kohli’s Feet Are Somewhere Else And Bat Somewhere Else, Claims Sunil Gavaskar on his dismissal Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has criticized India captain Virat Kohli for playing outside his off stumps too early which cost him the wicket. Kohli was dismissed by Sam Curran for mere 20 runs when he played outside the off-stump during the second innings of the Lord’s Test. Image source by twitter It was the third time on this England tour when Virat Kohli got out playing outside his off-stump. While James Anderson removed him for a golden duck in Nottingham Test, Ollie Robinson did it in the same manner too. And, Sunil Gavaskar, stated Kohli had his foot going in another direction while his bat was in other direction as well. “That method has been successful for him. He has got 8000 Test runs with that back and across the movement. But he is playing at deliveries way outside off stump and a little too early in the innings,” Gavaskar said on the Sony Sports Network. “This time around, the foot is somewhere else, the bat is somewhere else, which means that he hasn’t really played well. It could be about this much-talked-about word intent but in a five-day game, every batsman goes in to score runs. It’s the method that differs.” However, Virat Kohli was looking comfortable during the second innings of the Lord’s Test and had played four boundaries as well. Gavaskar feels he should be more careful while playing his shots.

I think every batsman should be left alone to find his own method,” he further added. “This is a Test match. In ODI and T20I, it’s a completely different situation, but over here, what they need to look into is get themselves in and try to play in the old-fashioned V. Play only when you have fought through.” Follow Cricadium Stats, Latest Cricket News, Live Cricket Score, Fantasy Tips, Dream11 and Today Match Prediction Stay updated Indian Cricket Teamwith all the cricketing roster, records, history & action.
