3 Strategies India can deploy in the second T20 match against Australia

#3 Virat Kohli can bat at number 3

England v India: Specsavers 1st Test - Day Two

Virat Kohli is a powerhouse who can bat at any position and deliver. He is a trailblazer for the Indian team. To optimize his performance, the captain must bat at number 3 position. This will give him twofold benefits. The first benefit is he will get more balls to play, and that means more runs for the team. The second benefit is Kohli can get a chance to build a great partnership with Rohit Sharma if Shikhar Dhawan gets out cheaply.

Kohli has been extraordinary in his performance while batting at number 3. He averages 57.75 with an aggregate score of 1617 runs. At number 4, he has scored 265 runs at an average of 33.13. The strike rate has also been lower batting at number 4 as compared to number 3. The statistics imply he bats at number 3.

The Indian batting greatly relies on Sharma and Kohli. The Indian captain is more consistent than Sharma in T20 and has led India to some epic wins single-handedly. If both of them fire, then no one can stop India from winning the match.
