BGT 2024-25: Virat’s Unfortunate Weakness In Batting Is Outside Off, Says Manjrekar
New Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has highlighted Virat Kohli's struggles against deliveries outside off-stump when the right-hander was dismissed for just seven runs in the pink-ball Test after falling to a probing delivery from Mitchell Starc.
A short-of-length ball, angling across and landing on a probing fifth-stump line, lured Kohli into hesitation whether to play or leave, and finally got caught in the slips, where Steve Smith was positioned perfectly.
"One important reason why Virat's average has slipped to 48 now is the unfortunate weakness outside off. But more crucially, his adamance to not try another way to tackle it,” Manjrekar wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
