IND vs AUS 2nd Test: Dinesh Karthik Reveals the Main Reason Behind Virat Kohli’s Struggles Against Spinners in Tests

Former Indian captain's lean patch in test cricket continues as senior batter Dinesh Karthik decodes the issue behind Kohli's struggles against spinners in the longer format of the game.

Virat Kohli’s latest poor performance in Test cricket has raised questions about his form and technique. The Indian captain was dismissed for just 12 runs by debutant Todd Murphy in the first Test against Australia, prompting veteran wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik to analyze the batter’s struggles against spinners.

Virat struggling against Spinners

According to Karthik, Kohli’s focus on medium pacers is causing him to neglect his skills against spinners. When new to international cricket, Indian players tend to focus more on spinners, but as time goes by, their attention shifts to fast bowlers.

Karthik believes that this may be the case with Virat Kohli, who is known for his strong performance against spinners. However, his recent stats show a few dismissals by spinners, indicating that he needs to work on this aspect of his game.

Virat out against Spinners

With Kohli’s form under the spotlight, fans and experts will be eager to see how he performs in the upcoming matches, especially against spinners. Will King Kohli overcome his struggles and lead his team to victory? Everything will be clear in the second Test against Australia starting from 17th February 2023.
