Sanjay Manjrekar has now given his take on Kohli's lean patch, saying his judgement of length has gone down, and it isn't as great as it used to be.

Following Kohli's scans, KL Rahul, who will open in place of Rohit, faced an injury scare on Friday after getting hit on his elbow during a practice session.

Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar believes that Kohli has an idea of what Australian bowlers might plan for him and expects the Delhi-born to practice accordingly. He highlighted that in the last couple of series, Virat left the ball that was pitched outside off and played a drive on a couple of occasions.
