4 areas where Virat Kohli needs to improve

#4 DRS Calls

In the current scheme of cricket, DRS (Decision Review System) has become an essential part of the game, particularly in Test cricket. Pending the fact that a team gets only a few DRS attempts, its effective usage becomes the matter of discussion.

With an aggressive head, Virat Kohli is the one who operates with full enthusiasm. Although this trait of Kohli brings more good than bad, on selective occasions this very trait of Virat tends to take over the control of him in case of DRS calls. As a result, he ends up being on the losing side (in case of DRS calls) quite a few times. Let us bring the perspective into numbers.

Ever since the last Test series against England in 2016/17, Kohli chose to challenge umpire's decision on 93 occasions. Out of these 93 DRS calls, only 15 went Virat's way while ten got retained (umpire's call) and the remaining (68) squandered. Although these numbers differ from bowler to bowler, the captain is to charge for this.

Thus, giving a brief look at the numbers, we could gather that Kohli needs to improve on DRS front which would considerably help India in the course of the match.
