India are all set to take on South Africa in the T20 World Cup final, and though they have been unbeaten in the tournament, Virat Kohli has not been in good form. The star batter has scored only 75 runs in seven innings, and all Indian fans would be hoping that he comes up with a big performance in the final.

Also, there have been lot of opinions floating around his form and what the legendary batter is doing wrong with some suggesting that he is trying too hard to score fast. 

Now, Sunil Gavaskar, has also come up with an interesting observation where he has stated that Kohli's head shakes a bit when he is moving too much in the crease and it is not helping his cause and he has advised Virat Kohli to just relax.

"When he starts to move around, the head shakes as well. And therefore, it is not helping him. This is something you see in slow-mo as well. All that he needs to do is chill a bit and play that big hand and will give India the big score."

Gavaskar added that Kohli should back his strengths and play shots with the same body balance and felt that the batter is currently looking to power the ball away and is losing his balance in the process.

"Like I keep saying, what Kohli has to do is just play the shots that he plays with the same body balance. When he is looking to power the ball away, then he is losing his body balance and he misses the ball. So, all that needs to do is, that six he hit (off Reece Topley). It was brilliant balance and he just flicked the ball with the bottom hand. That's all he has to do."

Virat Kohli has been the leading run-scorer in three editions of T20 World Cup, and would now be itching to make a big impact in the final, and help India lift the coveted World Cup trophy.
