India Test captain Virat Kohli has hinted that he will stick to a five-bowler strategy in Sri Lanka. Earlier, while captaining India against Bangladesh in the 1st Test, Virat Kohli had used a five-bowler strategy.
In a press conference addressing the media before leaving to Sri Lanka he once again stressed the importance of taking 20 wickets in a Test match, while also pointing out that such a strategy will require his bowlers to chip in with the bat too when required.
"That [playing with five bowlers] could be a big possibility. The idea is to take 20 wickets," Kohli said. "That's that only way you win a Test match and I strongly believe we need to have the best bowlers playing in the squad."
Kohli also confirmed that there is a three-way tussle among M Vijay, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan for the opening spots. "It has been a spot that has been contested very strongly," he said.
