Sanjay Manjrekar's massive remarks on Virat Kohli's Batting Technique!

Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has pointed out a major shortcoming in Virat Kohli's Test batting after his poor performance in the second Test match. In the first innings of this match played against Australia in Adelaide, Kohli was dismissed for only 7 runs.

Sanjay Manjrekar's attack on Virat Kohli

Sanjay Manjrekar described Kohli's habit of playing drives on out-of-bounds as his weakness. According to Manjrekar, Kohli's insistence on not changing his technique is a major reason for the drop in his Test average.

He tweeted, writing:

"Virat's average has now come down to 48, a big reason for which is his weakness on the balls going out. But more than that, his insistence that he doesn't want to change the way he handles it. ”

Kohli and the Indian team's troubles

India's start in the first innings of the second Test was fine. KL Rahul and Shubman Gill shared a 69-run partnership, but after that Mitchell Starc changed the course of the match by giving two consecutive blows. Starc first dismissed Rahul for 37 and then walked Kohli for just 7 runs.

Scott Boland then bowled Gill on a full-length ball. Gill scored 34 runs, but after his dismissal, the Indian innings completely faltered. The team lost their last three wickets within just 12 runs.

Rohith's struggle

Indian captain Rohit Sharma could not do anything special in this match and returned to the pavilion after scoring only 3 runs. However, young batsman Nitish Reddy played a struggling innings of 42 runs to take India to a respectable score of 180.

Manjrekar's comments about Virat Kohli have sparked a new debate in the cricket world. Kohli's technical flaws and his stubbornness can be discussed more now. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Kohli changes his technique in the third Test.
