Virat Kohli Record vs Leg Spinners: How Many Times Have Ravi Bishnoi and Amit Mishra Dismissed Former RCB Captain in IPL?

Former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has been in a decent touch in Indian Premier League 2023. He is among the highest run-scorers in the tournament and Bangalore’s next challenge is against Lucknow Super Giants. The Super Giants have a couple of leg-spinners in Ravi Bishnoi and Amit Mishra, who can trouble RCB’s opener.

Kohli has struggled against the leg spinners in recent times. We have seen players like Adam Zampa, Adil Rashid, Ish Sodhi etc. troubling him with their leg breaks and googlies. It is a general trend that right-handed batters find it difficult to play right-arm wrist-spinners.

On a track like Lucknow where batting is really difficult because of its low and slow nature, it won’t be easy for Kohli to counter the slower bowlers of Lucknow. Although, Kohli’s numbers against the Leggies are not that bad and he will back himself to counter all the odds against the KL Rahul-led side.

Virat Kohli Record vs Leg Spinners

In T20s, Kohli has scored 1,603 runs against leg-spinners in 1,184 balls at a strike-rate of 135.58, whereas his average has been 51.70. These numbers make it clear that Kohli has played well against them. He has been dismissed 31 times in the process.

Talking about his IPL numbers against wrist-spinners, he has scored 1,025 runs at an average of 53.94 while getting out 19 times. He has a strike-rate of 137.21. LSG would definitely want their spinners to attack Kohli before he gets set.

Virat Kohli vs Ravi Bishnoi Head to Head in IPL

Kohli’s battle against Bishnoi is going to be an entertaining one for the audience. The young leggie has taken some huge strides in the format. Kohli has scored 30 runs against Bishnoi at a nominal strike-rate of 90.90. Bishnoi has not dismissed Kohli till now in the tournament but he has definitely controlled him.

Bishnoi has scalped 10 wickets in IPL 2023 at an economy of 8.09, whereas his S/R has been 24.70. On a favourable track, he will be a deadly bowler.

Virat Kohli vs Amit Mishra Head to Head in IPL

Mishra is one of the most experienced bowlers around and he is just three wickets away to become the third-highest wicket-taker of the tournament. Against Kohli, he has not bowled that well in IPL. Kohli has scored 159 runs against him at a strike-rate of 155.88 with Mishra taking his wicket three times in the tournament.
