Virat Kohli changed his game against spin, ready for the challenge of CSK spinners!

In IPL 2025, Virat Kohli’s game has reached a completely new level. Kohli, who once struggled against spin bowling, is now beating spinners fiercely. In the opening match of IPL 2025, he showed a glimpse of this change, when he beat up spinners like Sunil Naren and Varun Chakraborty fiercely and hit a brilliant half -century.

Now Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is going to compete with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on their home ground Chepock. Chennai has a deadly spin trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Noor Ahmed, which can become a major challenge for the batting of Kohli and RCB. However, Virat is fully prepared to deal with this challenge. This was revealed by RCB’s batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik himself.

Virat Kohli’s hunger still intact – Dinesh Karthik

Before the CSK vs RCB match, Dinesh Karthik spoke on the hard work and mentality of Virat Kohli. They said,
“When I came on the field, Kohli was working on another shot. It shows that he still has the same hunger. He wants to improve continuously and wanted to increase the standard of his game. That makes him a special player.”
“He is full of confidence as before and is batting brilliantly.”

According to Karthik, Virat Kohli’s batting has improved a tremendous improvement against spin, and now he can play any spinner fearlessly.

Kohli’s performance against spin is spectacular – Karthik

Dinesh Karthik said about his struggle against spin,
“Kohli has done well against spin in recent times. He scored a great run in the Champions Trophy.”
“If we look at the figures, he scored runs under pressure in the World Cup final, where it was most needed. He was also included in the top-5 scorer in the Champions Trophy.”
“Spinners get a lot of help on Dubai pitches, but Kohli batted brilliantly there too. This proves that he is now stronger against spin than ever.”

Chepock has always been difficult for RCB

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have not defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on their home ground Chepock once in the last 16 years. This figure shows how difficult it has been for RCB to win in Chennai.

Now on Friday, the RCB team will once again take out a big exam against Chennai spinners. This match will be very important for Rajat Patidar and other batsmen.

Playing spin is not a problem for RCB batsmen – Karthik

When Karthik was asked whether RCB batsmen had trouble playing spin, they flatly denied it.
“We have no problem. We have played only one match. It is a completely new team.”
“Our strength is to play spin well, and as the tournament moves forward, it will be more clear.”

It is clear from this statement that RCB is fully prepared for the slow and turning pitch of the chapock.

In the first match of IPL 2025, he washed the spinners fiercely.
CSK has a deadly spin attack, but Kohli is working hard to counter it.
