Harbhajan backs Kohli to return stronger after Adelaide flop show

Kohli managed scores of 7 and 11 and perished poking the ball outside off, an area which has been troubling him for a long time now, and he is still looking for the solution.

As the Indian team prepares for the third Test in Brisbane, a stellar challenge awaits Kohli, a traditionally front-footed player, and the bounce at the Gabba will force him to play more on the back foot.

Harbhajan feels that the 36-year-old Kohli will be aware of the challenge, and shared that the batter has already gone back to the drawing board to work on his backfoot game.
