Former England captain Nasser Hussain has said that Indian captain Virat Kohli is playing at a lot of deliveries which he could leave. He added that Kohli is making the same mistakes from the horror 2014 tour.

Kohli has scored just 42 runs in four innings of the ongoing Test series, averaging only 17.25. On Wednesday, he was dismissed for seven. “And that was good enough to dismiss Kohli cheaply again. I did a masterclass for Sky with Virat when he said he had made a change to his technique after a disappointing tour of England in 2014. In that series Kohli’s back foot was not moving how he wanted it to, his alignment was horribly wrong and he was nicking too many balls,” wrote Hussain for the Daily Mail.
“So when he came back four years later, he made sure that back foot was much squarer and pointing towards cover point. It led to a much more prolific series against Anderson & Co but now his back foot is not moving the way he wants, again.”
