Top 5 strokes played by Virat Kohli

# Flick off the pads

Kohli’s supple wrists is a joy to watch

When Kohli burst onto the international scene, his ability to flick balls from middle and off was a real spectacle. He has a bottom hand grip and this allows his to work the ball from the stumps towards the mid-wicket region with a lot of control.

Much like many subcontinent players, Kohli has carried on the mantle of leg side flick forward and his balance and poise at the crease while playing the flick is one of his main secrets while playing the stroke.

Having supple wrists and a whiplash like finish has made this stroke a real accumulator of runs for Kohli across all formats. Also, this stroke is a great way to manoeuvre fields manipulate the plans of the opposition.
