Harbhajan Singh shared details about Kohli’s training session, where the veteran India spinner suggested that the star batter worked on his back-foot game.
Team India’s talismanic batter Virat Kohli has started preparations for the third Test against Australia after twin failures in Adelaide, where he scored 7 and 11. Kohli got out, poking the ball outside off stump, which has been a chink in his armoury for a long time now, and he is still looking for the solution. However, a new challenge awaits him in the third Test at Gabba, where the bounce forces players to play more on the back foot, which isn’t a strong suit for a front-footed Kohli.
Harbhajan Singh shared details about Kohli’s training session ahead of the third Test, where the veteran India spinner suggested that the star batter worked on his back-foot game.
“Yes, whatever little I have seen him batting in the nets today. I have played a lot of cricket with him. He is a front foot player. Knowing the bounce on Indian soil, you have to be on your front foot. The people who have played here, the likes of Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh, Langer, Hayden. They were good back foot players, because of the bounce. It is the kind of bounce you get in Australia, you have to be good player of bounce. You need to have a good backfoot game. That’s what he was practising,” Harbhajan told Star Sports.
