Kohli getting out to same type of bowling is a concern: Sunil Gavaskar, ahead of Ind-Pak CT clash
The HinduAhead of India’s clash with Pakistan, Sunil Gavaskar said that he believes Virat Kohli’s recurring dismissals due to an open-faced bat is a matter of concern as India aim to regain the Champions Trophy after 12 years. The 36-year-old Kohli, who had a tough tour of Australia where he was repeatedly dismissed by fast bowlers in the off-side corridor, was dismissed for 22 in India’s opening match of the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh on Thursday. This marks the sixth consecutive time Kohli has been dismissed by spin in ODIs, as he had struggled against England's leg-spinner Adil Rashid too in the recent home series. “It is to a great extent due to the fact that the bat face opens up, the same thing happens when he's playing against the quicks in Australia," Gavaskar told India Today.
