Virat Kohli Suggests a Batting Approach in Tough Conditions for Indian Batsmen!

India skipper Virat Kohli suggested a batting approach for his batsmen while batting in tough conditions.

In the second innings of the Wellington Test match, Cheteshwar Pujara consumed as many as 81 deliveries for just 11 runs. Hanuma Vihari also adopted a cautious approach during his stay at the crease, scoring 15 off 79 deliveries.

“I think the language we use as a batting unit has to be correct. I don’t think being cautious or wary will help because you might stop playing your shots. You will start doubting that if even singles are not coming in those conditions, what will you do? You are just waiting for when that good ball will come and you will be dismissed,” Virat said after losing the first match.

“If I see a situation, if it is a green wicket, then I try to play counter-attacking cricket so that I can take the team forward. But I don’t think a cautious approach ever pays off, especially away from home."

“If we start thinking too much about the conditions, then you won’t be able to focus on your batting. When you are not playing in your (home) conditions, the game becomes more mental,” he further said.
