Former Team India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that Virat Kohli does not want to duck or leave short pitch balls and wants to go for the hook shot. . Gavaskar said that only with experienced batsman Virat Kohli staying at the crease, the variations of bowlers start ending. The ‘Little Master’ warned Virat to be careful with such balls in the remaining two matches of this ODI series.

Virat does not duck the ball
Sunil Gavaskar said that Virat Kohli is one of those batsmen who do not really duck (empty) the balls. He likes to play hook short Virat Kohli, which is one area where you can’t really be in control. Kohli picked the ball which bounced a bit and then he guessed that it was not in the middle of the bat. The ball came off the edge and his catch was taken. That’s why I believe (Sunil Gavaskar) that he should be careful and face the shot-pitch balls in the rest of the matches.”
