Virat Kohli has endured a poor run of form in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Except for a century in Perth, the 36-year-old's struggle in the long format has been quite evident for the past few months.

With scores of 7 and 11, Virat again faltered in Adelaide as the Indian batting lineup looked clueless and didn't have any answers to Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland. Virat's tendency to play outside the off stump has often created problems for him and Boland exploited the area to dismiss the batter in the second innings.

Travis Head has been the chief tormentor for India across every format. The Australian batter was in scintillating form and scored a century in Adelaide to take the game away from the visitors. Mohammed Kaif believes India should target Head as he also has his weakness for delivery outside the off stump.

In a video uploaded on his X account, the former Indian cricketer said, "When Boland, someone who doesn't play consistently, knows how to exploit this, why can't we trap Travis Head? If his weakness is outside the off-stump, why don’t we consistently bowl there? Every batsman has weaknesses."

Kaif further elaborated that the way Australian bowlers have exploited Virat's weakness, Indian bowlers should implement the same strategy to get the better of Head.

"Virat Kohli ki kamzori log pakad ke rakhe hue hai, off-stump ke bahar ball daalo, wo waha out honge. You'll need to adopt the same strategy against Travis Head as well. You need to move ahead with proper planning. You need to attack him from the first ball; you need to make a fixed plan to exploit his weakness, and then you can get him out."

The third Test between India and Australia will take place in Brisbane on Saturday, December 14.
