Dravid opens up on dealing with Kohli’s rough patch

TIL Desk Sports/ Virat Kohli, with his incredible understanding of the game, can easily decipher when to switch gears and when to control the proceedings, said head coach Rahul Dravid, who was also mighty impressed with the way the Indian premier batter maintains his intensity during training.

Kohli found form during the Asia Cup in the UAE earlier this year after enduring an extended lean patch. He continued his magnificent run in the T20 World Cup in Australia. Last week, the former India captain brought up his 44th ODI hundred.

 “He (Virat) knows when to be aggressive and when to control the game, it’s incredible to watch and a good sign for us if he can build up,” Dravid said in a video released by the BCCI on its website. “Virat has an incredible template in 50-over cricket. His record speaks for itself. It’s phenomenal the number of games he’s played.”
