'Pitches Were Tough To Play Against Spinners', Says DK On Kohli's Dismissals In SL ODIs
The Sri Lankan: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik believes there is nothing to worry about Virat Kohli’s form in the 2-0 ODI series loss to Sri Lanka, saying life wasn’t easy for rest of the visitors’ batters on pitches aiding spinners to a huge extent.
At the R Premadasa Stadium, the Indian batters struggled against Sri Lanka’s spinners, leading to them suffering a bilateral ODI series loss to the hosts’ after 27 years. The Sri Lankan spinners called the shots on the Colombo pitch by scalping 27 out of 30 Indian wickets in three matches.
"It’s been a tough pitch to play spin in this series, let’s admit that first. Be it Virat Kohli, be it Rohit Sharma, or be it anyone else. With the slightly semi-new ball between overs about 8 to 30, it’s been hard work (for batters).
