In spite of his heroics in the last year and a half, Kohli is still not spoken of in the same breath as modern-day contemporaries Kane Williamson, Joe Root and Steve Smith. Kohli has scored a lot of runs in the last 20 months, but he is still vulnerable to deliveries that swing away from him, something that wasn't a big problem for the Indian skipper in the Indian sub-continent.

Though he scored runs in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, it is still one area that he needs to improve in this format. The opposition captains are using this as a ploy to get him out and if he survives the initial burst, he goes on to make it count.

Kohli struggled when the Indian team toured England in 2014, failing miserably when bowlers used the aforementioned tactic against him.
