Virat Kohli has been known to struggle against spin bowlers in the past, but he has made significant improvements in his game over the past year. As he gears up to face Chennai Super Kings in Chepauk, a venue where spinners dominate, Kohli’s battle against R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Noor Ahmad will be closely watched.
Kohli’s proactive approach against spin was evident in the first match of IPL 2025, where he scored an unbeaten 59 off just 36 balls. His mentor and batting coach Dinesh Karthik praised Kohli’s ability to play spin well in white-ball cricket, highlighting his performances in crucial matches like the T20 World Cup final.
Despite his success, Kohli continues to strive for improvement. Karthik revealed that Kohli is always looking to add new shots to his game, showcasing his hunger for excellence even at this stage of his career.
The upcoming clash between RCB and CSK, featuring Kohli and MS Dhoni, is expected to be a thrilling encounter. While Chepauk’s spin-friendly conditions pose a challenge, Kohli’s recent form suggests that the old notion of slowing him down with spin may no longer hold true.
