Gavaskar wants Virat Kohli to play straight instead of looking to guide balls towards the third man region.
Virat Kohli isn’t having the best of IPL campaigns, given his lofty standards. The RCB skipper has amassed 163 runs in six games at an average of 32.60, while his strike rate reads 126.35. Barring his knock of 72* against the Rajasthan Royals, Kohli has mostly flattered to deceive in IPL 2021.
“Hats off to AB de Villiers” - Virat Kohli after RCB’s win over DC
Following RCB’s one-run win over DC on Tuesday, Virat Kohli was all praise for AB de Villiers, whose brilliant knock of 75* off 42 balls changed the complexion of the game.
Despite Virat Kohli not firing on all cylinders this season, the RCB have managed to win five out of their six games so far.
The franchise are among the favorites to clinch one playoff spot and it remains to be seen whether they can go the distance to claim their first IPL title.
