BGT: Delete That Cover Drive, Advises Gavaskar To Struggling Kohli
Former India: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has urged Virat Kohli to draw inspiration from Sachin Tendulkar’s iconic innings in Sydney in 2004 to overcome his recent struggles with deliveries outside the off-stump.
Kohli, who started the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia with a century in Perth, has since faltered, failing to cross 15 runs in his last four innings. His latest dismissal for just 3 runs in the first innings of the third Test at the Gabba underscored his vulnerability against the Australian pacers’ disciplined lines.
Speaking to broadcasters after Kohli’s soft dismissal, Gavaskar emphasised the importance of adapting and showing mental discipline, drawing a parallel with Tendulkar’s historic unbeaten 241 in Sydney during the 2003-04 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
