5 things Virat Kohli needs to improve to become the best of the best

#2 Slip catching

Kohli hasn't had a good time in the slip cordon; far too many drops

Though Virat Kohli is one of the best fielders in world cricket, his catching at slips has been well below-par. Kohli's famous drop of Brendon McCullum led to the Kiwi scoring his maiden triple hundred in Tests. With the help of the 300, Brendon McCullum denied a rare Indian win in New Zealand in 2014.

Kohli's drop of Alastair Cook helped the English opener score a match-winning 95 in the 3rd Test at Southampton the very same year. His drop-rate as a Captain has been alarmingly high. He has dropped close to 50% of the catches at slips as the captain of the Indian team.

Why is Kohli dropping so many slip catches? All good slips catchers have been patient personalities who let the cherry come to them. Kohli is always zealous to make a pressing influence on the game all the time; slip catching is the exact opposite.

Kohli must learn the art of slip catching to make more impact in the Test matches.
