Spin was once the answer to stop Virat Kohli. However, times have changed. Kohli has upped his game and found out a solution to deal against spin. It will really be tested when they take on Chennai Super Kings in their backyard. Spinners like R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Noor Ahmad are waiting to test Kohli. Batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik backs Kohli to succeed against them.

"He has batted well in the recent past against spin, especially in white-ball cricket," RCB batting coach and mentor Dinesh Karthik said, "So, I don't want to go too deep into stats. I am not very aware. But if I remember, in the [T20] World Cup finals, he got runs where it mattered. And apart from that, in the Champions Trophy, he had a good tournament second-highest run-getter [for India]. And that doesn't come without playing on spin.

"So, I believe right now, he is batting as well as he has ever done. And you speak to him even today, just now as I came out. He wanted to work on one more shot. At this point of time, to work on one more shot, tells you the hunger that he has in his mindset. He wants to just improve and keep raising the bar. So, he is a special player. And at this point of time, the way I see it, he is batting as confidently and as well as he has ever done in IPL."
