3 things that Virat Kohli should learn from Sourav Ganguly to improve India's overseas record

#2 Play six batsmen

Fab Five of Indian Cricket

While it is true that 20 wickets do win you Test matches, it is also true that you won't win Test matches if your batting team doesn't score above 300-350 consistently. The current tours of England and South Africa have been great examples of that.

Sourav Ganguly was a firm believer in playing 6 batsmen, getting runs on the board and putting the opposition under pressure. Even with stalwarts like Sehwag, Sachin, Dravid, Laxman and himself in the side, he still played 6 batsmen whenever he toured overseas.This was instrumental in getting a monumental innings victory at Headingly in 2002 and chasing more than 200 runs at Adelaide in 2003.

Virat Kohli has not played 6 batsmen, even when his entire top order is struggling and out of form. He needs to stop being rigid with the 5 bowlers policy and focus more on getting runs, which is currently India's biggest problem.
