De Villiers backed Virat Kohli to overcome the weakness by resetting the mind for every ball. According to him, Kohli has the skills and the experience to tackle this situation and he just needs to concentrate and reset his mind every time he plays the next ball.
"The skill, experience and greatness of the guy are not an issue. It's about the refocus after every single ball. Maybe sometimes he gets too involved," he added.
