Dinesh Karthik on Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli has not been able to perform up to his name in the Test series against New Zealand. In the second Test match against New Zealand, he scored one run in the first innings and 17 runs in the second innings. He definitely scored a half-century in the first match but in the second he turned out to be a failure and became a victim of Mitchell Santner in both the innings. For some time now, none of Kohli’s moves against spinners have worked.
Speaking to Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said that it has not been easy for Virat Kohli, the series has not been good for him, he has disappointed in three out of four innings. The spinners have worried him. I think you’ll figure out what you need to do to get stronger. When you reach that level of talent and super stardom, you will face challenges and here is another challenge. India likes to play on spin-friendly pitches, what is your game plan?
He is advised to play domestic cricket again.
Dinesh Karthik has advised Kohli to play in domestic cricket, whereas last time when all the big players played in the Duleep Trophy, the BCCI did not name Kohli or Rohit Sharma in the team. He said we know what he’s capable of doing. He probably needs to get back into domestic cricket. There is a need to focus on what needs to be done with the current DRS standards. There is no doubt that left-arm spinners are a big threat. Kohli’s Test record against spin in the last 2-3 years has not been good.
He scored only 88 runs in the New Zealand series
Virat Kohli scored a total of 88 runs in four innings of the Test series against New Zealand. Now Kohli would like to play a large number of innings in the third Test match to be held in Mumbai. So that it can gain momentum ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy that will be played against Australia. India has lost the Test series in its own country after 12 years. Earlier in the year 2012, India had lost the Test against England. In these 12 years, team India won 18 consecutive test series.
