Virat Kohli against CSK bowlers
Virat Kohli’s history against current CSK bowlers could give the Chennai Super Kings some hope. Ravindra Jadeja has had the better of Kohli three times in past fixtures. Kohli has struggled against Jadeja, scoring 161 runs off 148 balls in 20 innings with 3 dismissals. Against R. Ashwin, Kohli has been more prolific, scoring 181 runs off 149 balls in 23 innings but has managed to avoid dismissal by Ashwin most of the time, getting out only once.
Kohli’s record against other CSK bowlers like Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, and Matheesha Pathirana has also seen some notable performances and dismissals. While Kohli’s overall numbers against these bowlers might not be alarming for CSK, his current form and impressive record at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium could make things challenging for the CSK bowling attack.
