Virat Kohli’s recurring dismissals due to an open-faced bat is a matter of concern as India aim to regain the Champions Trophy after 12 years, believes legendary Sunil Gavaskar.
The 36-year-old Kohli, who had a tough tour of Australia where he was repeatedly dismissed by fast bowlers in the off-side corridor, was dismissed for 22 in India’s opening match of the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh on Thursday.
This marks the sixth consecutive time Kohli has been dismissed by spin in ODIs, as he had struggled against England’s leg-spinner Adil Rashid too in the recent home series. PTI
