Most of the time, when a wicket falls early or at a crucial point of the game, a bowler or 2 from the bowling team are in a middle of a good spell and are harder to score off.

If a batsman tries scoring runs against them and takes a couple of risks, he might get out and this puts his team under pressure, especially while chasing big targets.

With Virat, you will very rarely see the desperation of scoring runs or breaking the shackles when he is not getting runs. He understands the importance of getting through a good spell of bowling and gives respect to the bowler who is bowling well and is on a bit of a roll.

He backs himself to do the scoring against inferior or out-of-form bowlers and is often able to do it successfully.
