London: At the conclusion of the fourth Test, skipper MS Dhoni had defended the out-of-form Virat Kohli, saying that it is difficult to alter an individual's technique at such a short notice.

But Kohli is trying none-the-less. He was among the first to arrive for the nets yesterday but practiced only against thrown downs for about 30 minutes. He was seen working on his back-lift. He was also standing a lot more upright and focusing on playing towards the mid-off region.
