http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737 and has backed him to do well for the national side in the upcoming assignments.
After returning to Test cricket with the national team, Virat Kohli scored runs in both innings of the third Test match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760. The flamboyant batsman showed composure and patience to make 52 in the first innings, before playing another defiant
knock of 63 in the second outing when the pitch had become difficult to bat on.
However, both times a loss of concentration came to his downfall, which hindered him to convert his fifties into three-figure scores. His dismissal in the second innings proved to be a game changing event, which helped the Windies to draw the match.
With 19 runs needed from the last five overs, Kohli attempted a cut off leg spinner, Devendra Bishoo with the ball falling kindly into the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382. That exposed the lower order and the tourists coolly pounced on the opportunity to share the
spoils.
However, Dhoni was not too keen to blame anyone and believes that players tend to learn through such tough moments, and backed Kohli to improve.
"You learn a lot from these games, so the next time he is in the same situation he may bat in a different way,” said Dhoni.
"Even the most experienced players tend to make these types of mistakes. There is nothing to worry about; if you learn from each and every game, that really improves you as a cricketer. I am hoping he [Kohli] learns a lot [from this match]," added the Men
In Blue skipper.
With the selectors showing the door to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364, it allows an extended run for Kohli in the Test team. With his ODI credentials hardly in any doubt, the player will need to make a dew adjustments which will be beneficial for him in the longer run.
With a crucial series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 just around the corner, the positivism shown by the skipper will only allow the 23-year-old to ensure that he performs well in what would be a tough tour of Down Under.
