Virat Kohli, a former Indian skipper, and top batsman have been having trouble scoring runs for a while.

I would assault them if he was a novice in the crease. will swing the ball either toward or away from him, pitching it on the middle stump “Wasim Akram stated during the Nashpati Prime program “To Be Honest.”

“I might switch to Plan B, bowling the bouncer, if that does not work. The fielder should be placed in the deep, then brought back inside. It is crucial to take several of these minor changes to take down him” Wasim Akram said.

From July 1 to 5, the Indian team will play England in a Test match in Edgbaston in Birmingham.
