Virat Kohli batting stance in 1st ODI and 3rd ODI
A conceptualised body segment model for the batting backlift technique:
Kohli used to tap his bat right at the end before playing the ball as that works well for him in the shorter formats.
Virat Kohli 1st ODI Vs 3rd ODI:
In the 1st ODI, he had a slightly open stance. He tapped his bat on the ground as the bowler ran in, and kept his bat grounded until around the time the bowler jumped into his delivery stride. Generally, if a batsman has an open stance at the crease with their feet open then it is most likely that their shoulders will also be open. His hips are closed. He lifts his bat in the direction of the 2nd slip. He shuffled across and whacked the ball from outside off-stump through the on-side.
In the 3rd ODI, he had a slightly more closed stance than the 1st ODI. he played with a bat-up stance, which gave him extra time to react. The difference is Shoulders are closed and Hips are open. Lifts his bat in the direction of the 1st slip. He shuffles a bit more across in this instance. Hands are positioned a bit higher than 1st ODI and bat closer to head and he moved more across the stumps to score through the on-side which is his strongest scoring area.
