Alex Carey Revealed How Virat Kohli’s Advice Is Helping Him In Ashes 2023: The 2023 Ashes series has been going on in full swing, with England and Australia taking on each other in an entertaining series opener at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground as both the teams aim to take an all-important 1-0 lead in the ongoing series.

The England cricket team put up a total of 393 on the scoreboard in the first innings. Following this, the Australian cricket team found themselves in some big trouble as their top three batters — David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith were dismissed early in the day.

However, the Australians soon made a brilliant comeback in the game and ensured that the hosts get just a seven-run lead in the first innings. Usman Khawaja, Travis Head, and Alex Carey scored half-centuries to help ensure Australia gave no advantage to England.

Alex Carey Revealed How Virat Kohli Helped Him

Australia’s keeper-batter Alex Carey scored a vital 66 runs in 99 balls after walking out to bat at 220-5. Alex made a huge statement on his reverse-sweep shot after the WTC Final. He disclosed that the Indian batting superstar Virat Kohli and former Australian captain Steve Smith were both critical of his reverse-sweep stroke during the World Test Championship 2023 Final against Australia.

As a result of the criticism from these two batting legends, Carey considered abandoning his unconventional shot in his following tournament which included the Ashes 2023. He said:

“There was no need to play that at The Oval in the first innings. When you have Virat Kohli and Steve Smith saying, ‘what are you doing that for?’ you probably listen to them,”

For the unversed, Carey had used unconventional sweeps and reverse sweeps earlier in this year to address the spin threat in the subcontinent. However, he was dismissed four times while attempting the reverse-sweep shot. Even in the WTC Final 2023 he was trapped in front of the stumps while trying to attempt the reverse sweep-off Jadeja.
