Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Virat Kohli struck a valiant 54 vs Kolkata Knight Riders, albeit in a shedding trigger. His 37-ball innings included six boundaries. After RCB misplaced to KKR, failing to chase down 201 to win, Kohli acquired flak from the critics. Former England captain Michael Vaughan pointed to an enormous weak point in Kohli’s batting, saying he’s not seeking to rating boundaries towards the spinners. Vaughan’s evaluation just isn’t incorrect as Kohli’s strike price vs spinners has been simply 113.86 in IPL 2023. He clearly loves dealing with the seamers greater than spinners and it’s telling on this stat. His general strike price in IPL 2023 stands at 143.57, which is sort of spectacular.Â
How spinners are taking Kohli wickets, Vaughan tells
Vaughan feels that groups are going to bowl increasingly spin towards Kohli as his strike price is sort of low towards them. He feels for Kohli, the groups are going to put as many as 3 fielders within the mid-wicket area.
“A lot of teams are going to bowl spin against Virat because of his strike rate against them. I think he has a 107 strike rate against spin. So most teams are going to bowl spin against Virat Kohli and they are going to put three fielders at the mid-wicket,” Vaughan mentioned in a chat on Cricbuzz after the match.

‘Need to alter the mindset’
Former England batter mentioned that Kohli has it in him to tackle the spinners and hit them for sixes however in the meanwhile, his mindset is to play until the tip.
“I think his mindset after the powerplay is almost to be there at the 18th (over). I don’t think he is thinking about boundaries enough. I think he can (hit boundaries) because he is got the game, the power and the timing to be able to go and hit the six,” Vaughan mentioned.
