IND vs BAN: Dinesh Karthik Analyzes Virat Kohli's Dismissal Against Bangladesh In 1st Test Match

Indian Cricket Team had won the toss and elected to bat first at Chattogram against Bangladesh. The Men in Blue had a terrible start to their innings as they lost 3 key wickets: KL Rahul, Shubman Gill & Virat Kohli in the first session itself. The spinners were getting ample turn and bounce from the pitch.

Taijul Islam was the wrecker in chief where he got rid of KL Rahul & the dangerous Virat Kohli. The left-arm off-spinner was quite disciplined in his line and length as he didn’t give any freebies to the batters. The spinner has the knack for bowling long and effective spells.

Dinesh Karthik on Virat Kohli

Dinesh Karthik was having an interaction with Cricbuzz and was asked about Virat Kohli’s dismissal. “I’m pretty surprised as to where he is standing in the crease. He is standing touch outside leg stump. And that you do when you are little worried about LBW. But that in many ways actually causes you more trouble the moment you stand outside leg stump because almost all balls you need to meet across. But when you stand in the middle or between middle and leg stump, there is a good chance that the balls that are drifting into you say the middle stump then you end up playing a lot straighter.” said Dinesh Karthik.

“The moment you stand outside leg stump, everything you do tends to go across and so the one that comes in has the potential to get you lbw. So that is one thing that I have been very surprised with the strategy he has used to play spin.” he added.

Dinesh Karthik on Virat Kohli’s batting stance

“Kohli over the years has consistently stood at middle or between middle and leg and that allows him to play with softer hands. And this mindset has come obviously because players who do not want to get lbw do that. And he wants to avoid that. Interestingly, in both the innings he got out lbw.” said Dinesh Karthik.

“Yes the ball kept a little low in the first innings but in the second innings I guess it was a touch and was a kind of delivery you play on it. The place Kohli stood on the crease is a hard place to bat on especially on these kinds of tracks.” he added.
