Top 5 strokes played by Virat Kohli

# Inside out stroke over covers

Making room to free the arms and then lifting the ball over covers

One of the best possible ways to counter spin is to have a nifty footwork, as this allows the batsman to get close to the pitch of the ball and then act accordingly. Indians have been proficient players of spin and their ability to decipher the spin and turn has allowed them to dominate spinners.

Virat Kohli has taken the baton forward and for all his ability against fast bowling, his aptitude to get stuck into the spinners has made him an absolute nightmare for bowlers all around the world. One stroke which stands out is his inside-out stroke over covers to the spinners. He not only comes out but also makes room to allow his hands to take over and then lifts the ball over covers away from the reach of long off and sweeper cover.

Apart from the spinners, Kohli does no hesitate to play this stroke against fast bowlers and is all boils down to his belief and solid base while taking a stance.
