Virat Kohli - the lone slipper

BANGALORE: On the eve of the second Test, there was an extended slip catching session for Virat Kohli, coach Duncan Fletcher and fielding coach Trevor Penny, marking the young man out for some special treatment.Kohli dived to his left and right, took some anddropped some. Kohli was all alone and that generally is not a good thing forslip fielders, especially when it is not a spin session that is beingsimulated.It showed on the first morning of the Test when Kohli, stationed at third slip, came in the way of a regulation catch to Suresh Raina at second slip. Perhaps had he practised more with one or two peoplearound him, like it happens when the quicks are bowling in a match, it wouldhave helped. Bowler Zaheer Khan had to rue his luck as he had, just before that ball to Martin Guptill, insisted on strengthening the slip cordon.
