Virat Kohli's performance in the second Test against Australia revealed weaknesses against deliveries outside off-stump. He scored only 7 and 11 runs, leading to criticism of his approach, particularly against bowlers like Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc. Sunil Gavaskar suggested Kohli adopt Sachin Tendulkar's strategy from the 2004 Sydney Test. Gavaskar noted that Tendulkar avoided risky shots outside off-stump and focused on playing straight, which helped him score significantly. Kohli has played only one match at the Gabba, scoring 20 runs in 2014. Gavaskar emphasized that Kohli should not expose his weaknesses to the opposition and should focus on playing straight to improve his performance.
