Virat Kohli has been scoring runs every time on Australian soil. But this time the tour was disappointing for him. During the Border Gavaskar Trophy, he was seen struggling for every run. He could score only 190 runs in 5 matches at an average of 23.75. His old weakness in the series was time and he was out on off-side balls 8 times. However, while fielding, he looked the same old Virat. Throughout the series, his fight continued sometimes with the Australian fans and sometimes with the players. Now the legendary South African player AB de Villiers, who is considered his best friend, has given his opinion regarding this. Some suggestions have also been given to improve performance.

Gave this advice to Virat

After India's defeat in the Sydney Test, AB de Villiers did a live session on social media. While talking about the India-Australia series, De Villiers also expressed his opinion about Kohli's performance. Regarding Virat's off-side weakness, he said that 'every batsman in the world has a weakness. The ball coming straight towards the pad was my weakness. Despite this, I had to score runs with my experience.

He further said that 'it takes a lot of courage and hunger to improve one's weakness. One has to sweat a lot in the net and one has to reset one's mind every time. Be it skill or experience, Virat has no shortage of anything. They should now take every ball as an event and focus on each ball without worrying about the bowler. Only then will they be able to come out of this.

Where is Virat going wrong?

According to AB de Villiers, getting into a fight during the Australia tour was his biggest mistake. He advised his friend to stay away from these things for now. De Villiers said that 'Virat loves fighting but when you are going through the worst form of your career, then you should get rid of all these things. Fighting in every match is not a good thing.

According to the South African legend, Virat often forgets this thing due to his fighting spirit. That desire to fight alone for the Indian fans causes harm to them. De Villiers said that 'during the Australia series, Virat was sometimes seen fighting with the players, sometimes with the media and sometimes with the crowd, due to which he suffered huge losses.'
