After facing severe criticism once again for his poor batting displays in the recently-concluded Adelaide Test, Virat Kohli made a big change in his technique during the practice for the upcoming Test in Brisbane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kohli, who was only able to score a total of 18 runs in the second Test which was wrapped up by Australia inside 3 days of cricket, has been practicing really hard in the nets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh revealed that Kohli has been preparing differently to counter his poor run of form Down Under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harbhajan revealed that Kohli has been preparing for the excess bounce that the pitch in Brisbane is likely to produce by testing his backfoot defense extensively in the nets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Yes, whatever little I have seen him batting in the nets today. I have played a lot of cricket with him. He is a front-foot player. Knowing the bounce on Indian soil, you have to be on your front foot. The people who have played here, the likes of\u00a0Ricky Ponting,\u00a0Steve Waugh, Langer, Hayden. They were good back foot players, because of the bounce. It is the kind of bounce you get in Australia, you have to be good player of bounce. You need to have a good backfoot game. That’s what he was practicing,” Harbhajan told Star Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former India cricketer also believes that Kohli can make a comeback in the upcoming Test in Brisbane as he is putting great efforts in practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
