kohli will move towards off and nullify it .. 

even hitman handles swing better 

Nullify what, he constantly edges it in the slips. Cummins has got him out in the same way lots of times, even in England if not for a few dropped catches his stats could've been much worse. Yes he has the mental resolve to get runs despite this weakness, but let's not kid ourselves - Kohli is not yet a great player of swing like Dravid or SRT. He plays pace, bounce better than lateral swing.

kohli is still light years better than rahul ( pace , spin or swing ) .. 

drop catches are part and parcel of the game ..

At this point in time yes, likely over the course of his career as well.

 

Sure but then you must also remember his England numbers in 2014, vs Aus in 2017 or last year? In 2 of those he was worse than a tailender, in fact if Kohli wasn't injured for Dharamshala we might as well have lost the series at home!
