THE ELUSIVE SWEEP SHOT
Despite mastering the stylish flicks and powerful pulls, the one shot that was missing from the armoury of the Indian batting sensation was the traditional sweep.
But after his struggles in front of the England spinners back in 2014, Kohli managed to master the art of sweep shot after immense hard work and it left Australian spinner Nathan Lyon on the receiving end in Adelaide during the 2014-15 tour.
In his two centuries during that test, Kohli nullified the spin prowess of Lyon with his newly-acquired sweep shots and what surprised everyone is it looked like he had possessed this sweep from the very beginning of his career. Having included the sweep shot in his list of armoury, Virat Kohli no longer gives the bowlers any chance to bowl full onto his pads when the square-leg fielder is inside the circle.
