India’s veteran batsman Virat Kohli is not having a good time as an international cricketer. The 36-year-old has struggled in close matches with his technique everywhere.

However, Kohli is looking to overcome his weakness and regain some form ahead of the Ranji Trophy match in Delhi. He practiced in the nets with former India batting coach Sanjay Bhangar and even had a long chat with him.

According to PTI, Virat Kohli called Sanjay Bhangar to get some form. Bhangar arranged training sessions for Kohli at the Mumbai facility, which is believed to have been personally developed under his supervision.

Sanjay Bhangar was India’s batting coach when Kohli was in the prime of his career. Bangar has previously worked with Kohli in the RCB team management. The former India batting coach was seen going with Kohli after a short throw from 16 yards.

The main focus was on developing a strong back foot game that would allow Kohli to comfortably bowl off-stump balls. The training session also aimed to create more territory in the wicket square.

A movable concrete slab is attached to the back of the long space, which may also be called the center field, to be fed by balls that rise out of the trunk.

During the recent Test tour of Australia, Kohli faced a lot of trouble with such deliveries; The balls bounced off the pitch after pitch at a good length. No. times in the course of the series.

It is necessary to create more goals

It should be noted that Virat Kohli is naturally a front leg player and does not rely much on his back foot play. However, overseas conditions where the balls move late require the batsman to play the ball late and use the back foot play to perfection.

Over the years, Kohli has relied on his trademark cover drive but this shot has caused him to fail in the last few months. The idea of ​​the drill was to keep his scoring positions intact, even if he didn’t get many high balls.

Over the years, Kohli has been scoring runs in front of the wicket with his traditional shots. However, he aims to develop his back foot play to further increase his scoring chances.

Virat Kohli’s latest test form

Virat Kohli had a poor Test series in Australia, amassing 190 runs in five Tests at an average of 23.75. He was constantly troubled by balls outside the off-stump and all his dismissals alike had the outside edge going to the wicket-keeper or the slips.

After playing the upcoming Ranji Trophy match, Kohli will take part in the ODI series against England and then the Champions Trophy, which is key to India’s chances. The 36-year-old has a good record in both ICC tournaments and the ODI format.
