It’s no secret that Kohli doesn’t relish batting against spinners as much as he does against seamers. In fact, he only has a 113.76 strike rate against spinners in IPL 2023. His season strike rate is currently 143.57 after 8 games.
Due to Virat’s high strike rate against them, many teams will bowl spin against him. I estimate that he has a strike rate of 107 against spin. Therefore, most teams will bowl spin against Virat Kohli and will position three fielders at the mid-wicket, according to Vaughan in a post-match chat on Cricbuzz.
Without holding back, Vaughan emphasised that Kohli needs to be pursuing more boundaries against spinners, which isn’t currently happening.
source: next9 sports lets playI believe that after the powerplay, his goal is to almost immediately reach the 18th (over). He isn’t thinking about boundaries nearly enough, in my opinion. I believe he is capable of hitting boundaries because he possesses the skills, strength, and timing necessary to go for the six.
The former England captain added that the Royal Challengers cannot rely on middle-order cameos to help them reach high totals. They cannot depend on those middle-order cameos. He (Virat Kohli) will continue working with the first six’s mentor. It’s almost like a team takes a few more chances, he said.
RCB currently holds the fifth spot in the IPL 2023 points standings after winning 4 of their last 8 games. Only the top 4 teams, though, will advance to the next stage.
