"Go Sit On A Beach": Ex-England Captain Says Virat Kohli "Needs A Sabbatical"

Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels out-of-form India batter Virat Kohli should take "three months break" from cricket, and spend some time with his family.

Virat Kohli's ploy of trying to negate swing by meeting the ball early has backfired, feels the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, whose advise in English conditions has always been about playing as late as possible.

"The trick to play in England is to play as late as possible. Then you are allowing the ball to do its bit and then you are playing the ball.
