Virat Kohli's poor run during the recently-concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy can be attributed to a "mental block" that he is facing currently, which has led to him repeatedly getting out caught-behind off an edge while poking at balls outside his off-stump, says former Australia captain Ricky Ponting.
Kohli began the tour in fine fashion, with a century (100 not out) in the second innings of the tour-opening Test in Perth. But his other eight innings during the five-Test series produced just 90 runs for an aggregate of 190 in 9 innings at an average of 23.75.
