‘Looking to test my patience?’ Sachin Tendulkar’s old video offers Virat Kohli valuable advice for BGT in Australia

Live Mint  

Virat Kohli's poor shot selection in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy has been questionable. Although the former India captain scored an unbeaten century in the first Test in Perth, Kohli was guilty of chasing deliveries wide of the off-stump in Adelaide and Brisbane, which led to his dismissals. Legendary Sunil Gavaskar, who is currently on commentating duty in the ongoing India vs Australia series, has been vocal about Kohli's issue with deliveries outside the off-stump. After the Adelaide Test, Gavaskar advised Kohli to follow Sachin Tendulkar's template, which helped the Master Blaster regain form in Sydney against Australia in 2004. “Just like Sachin Tendulkar did in Sydney, in the previous three Test matches, he was getting out outside the off-stump, caught in the covers, or in the slips.” “He didn't play even one cover drive, only played straight and scored around two hundred and fifty runs by controlling himself and deciding not to play there.
