Virat Kohli’s nightmare in the corridor of temptation: A statistical deep dive

The Hindu  

Virat Kohli punched his thigh and furiously let out an expletive, directed at himself, as he fatally nicked a ball outside off-stump for the eighth time in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The length and back-of-a-length balls on and outside off-stump, which accounted for seven of Kohli’s eight dismissals in the series, were the most frequently bowled deliveries to him. Out of the 396 balls Kohli faced over the five matches, as many as 287 balls were on this line and length, limiting the master batter’s scoring options on the leg side and forcing him to venture into the cover region — which happens to be his second-most preferred scoring area, after the region in front of square leg. With the loose deliveries in short supply, Kohli had to resort to scoring off the length and back-of-a-length deliveries on or outside off-stump, which yielded 73 runs while also being his undoing. With just about 35% of his runs in this series coming behind square, Kohli hasn’t been able to get a hold of the deliveries that warrant backfoot strokeplay.
