NEW DELHI: Former Australian great and legendary fast bowler Jeff Thomson feels Pat Cummins and co need to be patient against star India batter Virat Kohli ahead of the much-anticipated test series between India and Australia. According to Thomson, the Aussie bowlers need to get the star Indian batter out of his comfort zone.
"It is no different to anyone else. If you are bowling to Virat, it's the same as anybody else. You try to tie him down, make him uncomfortable. Don't let him score runs as it is difficult to keep him quiet as he has such a wide range of shots. Make him take more risk. Get him out of his comfort zone, easier said than done. Good bowlers will be able to do so more often. That's how you bowl to great batters like Viv Richards, Greg Chappell and Sunny Gavaskar," said former Australia pacer Jeff Thomson on Backstage with Boria show.
