India coach Rahul Dravid believes a run of big scores from Virat Kohli is just around the corner and praised the work ethic and leadership of his captain ahead of the second test against South Africa at The Wanderers on Monday.
India wrapped up a 113-run victory on Thursday in the first game of the three-match series at Centurion Park, where Kohli continued his run of low scores that has seen him unable to profit from good starts to his innings.
"Virat has been phenomenal over the last 20 days we have been here, the way he has trained and connected with the group," Dravid told reporters on Sunday. "We were in a very good space leading into the first test and a lot of that was led by Virat. It is a pleasure to work with someone like him. He batted well but cannot convert those starts."
He has managed 652 runs in his last 14 tests at an average of 26.08, almost half his career average of 50.34.
