Legendary Indian cricket crew batter Kris Srikkanth believes Virat Kohli ought to stick with his pure recreation as an alternative of adopting an aggressive method from the very first ball. In the just lately concluded T20I sequence in opposition to Afghanistan, followers and consultants have been stunned with the type of batting that Kohli displayed. After lacking the primary recreation resulting from private causes, Kohli slammed 29 off simply 16 balls within the second recreation with couple of slog sweeps. However, within the subsequent match, he scored the primary golden duck of his T20I profession after he was caught at mid-off after miscuing the very first ball.

Srikkanth cited the instance of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal as gamers who can undertake an aggressive type of batting from the beginning and he suggested Kohli to stay to his pure recreation.

“Each player has his own game. Everybody should first follow their game. If you tell Yashasvi Jaiswal to take his time and play, it’s not right. Players like him and ‘Cheeka’, you can’t tell them to take their time,” Srikkanth stated on his YouTube channel.

“Rohit Sharma is capable of doing it. Virat Kohli should play his natural game. He likes taking his time. He is not worried about hitting sixes. He is capable of accelerating in the end, hit sixes in the end. We saw the Pakistan game in Melbourne, the way he built it up and won it for us.”

“So, like you said, the strike rate and all that should be on the back of the mind. If you run after it desperately, it won’t work. If you started swinging from the word go… this is international cricket, you will be lucky to connect once or twice, not always.”

“Virat Kohli should follow his principles of the game. How has he succeeded in international cricket? He has followed his style and done it. I think everybody should stick to their strengths,” he added.
