Virat Kohli primarily belongs to the latter group. Even though he has at times shown in aggression in the powerplay, his strike rate takes a nosedive in the middle overs where he scores at a run-a-ball rate. The RCB skipper scored 55 off 44 runs laced with three boundaries and two maximums before being dismissed by Asif. Earlier this week, former India head coach Ravi Shastri had an advice for Kohli pertaining to his strike rate issue. "If you get going, don't change your tempo; try and up the ante."
