In a recent interview with Sportstar, veteran India off-spinner believed that Kohli has hit the purple patch. “Looking at his (Virat’s) form, from the last four-to-five years, he has hit that purple patch and he is definitely one of those toughest batsmen that you will come across as a bowler,” Harbhajan was quoted as saying.
Being asked to reveal his strategy regarding how he would bowl to Kohli, Harbhajan initially ruled out any ‘weak point’ in the Indian captain’s batting. However, he also made public his plans against the 30-year old cricketer.
“Every batsman has a weak point where to bowl at and, at the moment, we don’t see that with Virat Kohli. Every ball you bowl to him, he has got an answer for that. But if I have to bowl to him, I’ll have to look for one thing to get him out somehow and to make sure bowl the best against him,” Harbhajan said.
