Do we have a weakness against left arm seamers?


Recommended Posts

If we get technical about it Kohli who has the habit of playing anything even on the off stump through mid-wicket. It is hard to do that against left hander's angle. Rohit Sharma's problem is the inability to pick even the slightest movement. Hence gets out plumb often against left armers. Rahane is one guy who has done okay against left-arm seamers. Having said that we have only 4 quality fast bowlers in the world cricket.  starc, wagner, boult, aamer.   Rest are manageable.

I feel its about having more of a habit of facing them more often in nets & domestic/international matches. IIRC at one point of time around 2006-07 Zaheer, Nehra, Irfan, RP used to be in contention in playing eleven. Now we dont have that luxury barring Unadkat whose stock ball is a slower ball.

Kohli did get out in WC semis & CT final against Johnson, Amir but both of those deliveries were good. Both times we were chasing & needed quick runs under pressure. I think Kohli can handle it, meanwhile Rohit seems hopeless when there is slightest movement irrespective being a left armer or a right.
