What a wonderful morning! It was sunny and warm. I had a great time hanging out with my friends and family yesterday.
Virat Kohli was in the middle of the group of us watching cricket on TV when I got the call. Virat is a world-renowned cricketer who has been involved in the game for over a decade. I am really glad he was able to come to Mumbai today. I would have been mad not to.
Virat has been involved with the game for a long time and has been a staple in the England side for years. He hasn’t picked up a pink shirt since India’s World Cup win in 2007, but that’s OK because he’s a nice guy and I’m glad he was able to come to Mumbai.
We are also glad to see Virat in colour, but we are glad to hear he is still a nice guy. He has a lot on his plate with India playing in the T20 World Cup and the Indian Premier League, and he was pretty upset that he wasnt selected by the squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka, but he is doing pretty well. He does have to deal with India not picking him on the squad for the ODI series against Sri Lanka, though.
I love Virat, but I think he’s playing in the middle of a bad situation. When Virat was in the middle of a World Cup qualifier in India back in the day, India was playing the West Indies in the World Cup itself. The conditions were atrocious. Virat was the only one who could bat, and was doing fine. But when the conditions got worse, Virat had to pick it.
But the good thing is that Virat is still the best bowler in Sri Lanka. He is the only one who can bowl with more than 80% accuracy consistently. That is a huge advantage over India’s spinners, who are capable of getting the ball to a pretty good length with more control when under pressure.
You can see the difference in the two sides in the above picture. Virat’s right hand (which appears to be a long, thin dagger) has a much better grip than Indias left hand. This is because the two hands are both part of the same arm, which makes it harder for the left hand to dominate. This also makes it easier for the left hand to keep the ball on the pitch.
However, Virat Kohli’s unorthodox, off-spin is still better for a good strike than the off-spin that Indias spinners are capable of. On the flip side, the off-spin that Virat Kohli can bring to the ball is not as good as that of the Indian spinners.
The Indian spinners are great at getting balls to the stumps while the other countries spinners are more reliant on legspin. However, Kohli’s off-spin is so good that it can bring the ball into the right-hander, which is very useful in the Test arena.
This is one of the reasons why Virat Kohli has managed to score all of his Test centuries in this format. The Indian spinners are not good at putting off the spin and getting the ball into the right-hander, while the other countries spinners are more reliant on legspin. This lack of off-spin on the Indian spinners is the reason why their attack has failed to produce as many scores as the other countries.
