Indian superstar Virat Kohli has underlined the importance of stitching partnerships in T20 cricket, especially on wickets where heaving the willow from the word go is not possible.
The pitches in the IPL thus far have been on the slower side, not allowing the batters to go hammer and tongs from Ball One. However, the likes of Kohli and KL Rahul have flourished in challenging batting conditions.

“It was a top win, especially looking at the surface. We saw a few games here and this wicket played out differently compared to those. Whenever there’s a chase on, I keep checking with the dugout, whether we’re on course,” Kohli, who played a second-fiddle to Krunal Pandya, said after the win.
Kohli elaborated on his batting methodology, saying he analyses the conditions and changes his style of play accordingly. “[What] the total [is] on the board. What the conditions are like. Who are the bowlers that are due to bowl. Who are the bowlers that are going to be hard to get away,” Kohli explained when asked how he plans the chase.
“I try and make sure my singles and doubles don’t stop so that the game doesn’t get stagnant. People are forgetting the importance of partnerships and that’s coming to the fore in this tournament to try and dominate the bowlers through partnerships and professionalism.”
