Virat Kohli alerted to potential threat as RCB gears up for IPL clash against KKR

Virat Kohli is getting ready for a big match against Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. He's been reminded by his fellow player, Steve Smith, about a potential danger he might face. The danger is from Mitchell Starc, a left-arm fast bowler from KKR. 

Kohli warned about Starc's bowling

Starc has a special technique of swinging the ball towards the off-stump, which can be tricky for Kohli. Smith thinks this might trouble Kohli because he has been caught out in similar situations before. Kohli and Starc used to be teammates in the past, but now they'll be competing against each other.

Starc was bought for a huge amount of money by KKR, but his performance in the last game wasn't great. However, Smith believes Starc will come back strong and challenge Kohli. Kohli has faced left-arm pacers before and sometimes struggled against them. Smith remembers instances where Kohli seemed unsure against left-arm bowlers. But Kohli hasn't been dismissed by Starc in T20 internationals yet.

Kohli is known for his skill and ability to adapt. Smith thinks Kohli will be prepared for whatever Starc throws at him. Smith believes Kohli will have a plan to counter Starc's tactics.
