India skipper Virat Kohli is having a difficult time with the bat lately. After scoring only 172 runs in the recently five-Test series versus England, Kohli bagged a five-ball duck in the T20I series opener against the same opponent on Friday (March 12).

It was Virat’s second consecutive duck in international cricket and his third duck in the last five innings across all formats.

During India’s 8-wicket defeat in the first T20I at Ahmedabad, Kohli got out to Adil Rashid as he tried to smash the leg-spinner over mid-off but ended up getting caught by Chris Jordan.

Seeing the lack of big scores from Virat Kohli in this series, former England cricketer Michael Vaughan has suggested the Indian captain to be a bit more selfish in the first few deliveries of his innings.

According to Vaughan, it is important for Kohli to become a little more selfish if India wants to win the T20 World Cup later this year.

"For India to get those big scores, be really effective, and go on to win the T20 World Cup, it will serve the team better if Virat is just a little bit selfish. A little bit more selfish in the first few deliveries gives himself ten balls to get in. Even if he leaves out 3-4 balls in that, you know a couple of boundaries, and he will be on his way," Vaughan said in a chat with Cricbuzz.

He, however, is not concerned with Kohli's batting as the Indian skipper does not look out of form.

"I never get concerned with Virat's batting because he never looks, in terms of movements, that he is out of form. But something will be triggering in that mind that is quite not right at the minute, but he's only 10-15 balls away from being back to the Virat Kohli we know. He just doesn't have to take too many risks too soon when he goes out there in the middle," Vaughan added.

The second T20I will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (March 14).
