With India taking on West Indies in a three-match T20I series followed by a three-match ODI series, West Indies coach Phil Simmons feels that his bowlers will have to avoid being “too scared” of Virat Kohli.

While talking about Kohli, Simmons said that it is a “difficult proposition” to dismiss the right-hander, as he jovially listed some out of the box ideas to get the prolific batsman out.

“We can make sure that the bowlers don’t get too scared of him. But in the end, may be two can bowl at him at the same time. You never know what can happen but it’s a difficult proposition to get Virat Kohli out,” Simmons said.

When asked about his plans to dismiss the Indian captain, the West Indies coach said, “One, I can make him bat with a stump. Two, we can sign a book and in the ODIs, we can give him a 100 and bowl at the rest of the players or we can make sure that our plans to him are spot on.”

While talking to ESPNcricinfo, the 56-year-old admitted that India is not an easy team to beat anywhere in the world, but he called on his players to utilize their past experiences to get the better of Kohli and his men.

“Last year we had some T20s and ODIs in India and we weren’t miles apart. We had one game where I think we were tied. So we weren’t that far apart,” he said.

“We have to look back at what we did then and see how much we can add to that now because they have added things to their games. We have to make sure that we have to get better than last time because India is not easy. India is India,” the former all-rounder added.
