Virat Kohli back to his old dirty habits of Pre 14 is one of the reasons for his downfall.

Points to note
1) stutter in footwork
2) timing of trigger movement (most imp)
3) bat angle
4) body angle
5) length of initial front feet movement

#ViratKohli
#INDvWI 1) Stutter in footwork

Consider a wheel that is rotating and u stop it with a hand. It stops & restarts it rotation. Similarly a stutter or lack of forward push from kohli has been seen lately. Kohli's trigger is a synchonized trigger and has to be at correct timing ... (contd)

STAT ALERT

Babar azam's SR at different phases of the innings for LOST MATCHES

6-10 indicates why pak lost the wc semifinal

12-16: reduction in avg as he tries to accelarate hence he doesn't blast

17-20: shows why he doesn't accelarate, when he does he gets out

#BabarAzam Now comparing this to the matches he WON (overall)

There is a dip in SR from 12-16 and that too costs his team at times. Thus a STRIKER AT THE OTHER END IS REQUIRED TO COMPENSATE FOR HIS INABILITY.
