To bowlers bruised and battered, and faced with the frightening prospect of again running into Virat Kohli, spin great Shane Warne has some advice - bowl at either leg or wide of off stump, but not at the stumps.

"If you're going to bowl to Virat Kohli, you either bowl at leg stump and protect the on side, or you bowl wide of off stump and you protect the off side. You cannot bowl at the stumps, because he can hit you both ways," Warne was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. "So, you've to take out one side of the field. Protect just one side, that's how you bowl to very good players," the Australian added.
