5 areas where Virat Kohli can improve as Test captain

#2 Avoid chasing the ball

Kohli has developed a tendency to chase the ball frequently

Among the biggest blunders that a captain could commit is setting the field according to the previous delivery. During the 5-match series against England, Kohli brought in gully or forward short leg only after a chance went begging.

His propensity to follow the ball also extended to boundary saving positions. When the batsman pierced one gap and found the boundary, he immediately changed the field to prevent a repeat.

However, the cycle continued when another gap was penetrated. Instead of reiterating faith in his and the bowler’s original plan, Kohli seemed to be chasing the ball. A bit more patience could help build pressure on oppositions.
