Virat Kohli is one of the finest all-format batsmen in modern-day cricket. He was India’s one of the most technically gifted players against spin. We saw his prime in international cricket where he scored tons of runs against the best spinners in the world but in the past few years, he has been struggling badly against spin.
Virat Kohli is one of the best batsmen in the history of Indian cricket and general Indian players are expected to play spin well as they grow up on spin-friendly wickets. Kohli is currently playing home test season with team India where he has not scored anything big so far. After four test matches and playing in 6 innings he failed to score a hundred.
Virat who was once known to play spin is now struggling to score runs against the spinners. Talking about spinners he is struggling against left-arm spinners the most. They are keeping him away from scoring runs. In Asia where most of the test-playing nations produce spin-friendly wickets, Virat’s average has been only 28.85 since 2021.
Since his bad patch in cricket, he has not been able to make a comeback in test cricket like he did in white ball cricket. Since 2021 he played 26 innings in Asia in which 21 times he got out to spinners. He made only 606 runs with a strike rate of 49.67 where he played 841 dot balls against the spinners.
