This happened 7 times out of 8… Virat Kohli failed to capitalize on the chance, putting Team India in a difficult position during the Sydney Test

Virat Kohli scored only 17 runs in the first innings of the Sydney Test. He could not take advantage of the opportunity he got. Virat became the victim of the same bowler on whose balls he got a lifeline.

When he got a lifeline on the first ball of the innings, it seemed that Virat Kohli would take full advantage of it. But, this was not seen. Virat Kohli settled on the wicket for a long time after that lifeline. He even took out the first session of the day’s play. But, during the second session, he fell prey to the same bowler on whose balls he had got a chance. In this way, the hope of him playing a big innings in the Sydney Test was shattered and with this a mountain of troubles fell on Team India.

Virat Got Out After Scoring 17 Runs

Virat Kohli scored only 17 runs, Scott Boland got him out

In the first innings of the Sydney Test, Virat Kohli faced 69 balls, but could score only 17 runs. His wicket was taken by Scott Boland.

In this way, after getting a life on 0, Virat could add only 17 runs to his score.

This happened with Virat 7 times out of 8

The way Virat Kohli got out in the Sydney Test was not the first time we saw it in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Rather, till now Virat has been out in the same way 7 times out of his 8 innings. In fact, in Sydney too, his catch was taken in the slip on a ball going outside, which was common in the ways of his getting out.

Virat Kohli’s out increased the difficulty of Team India

Rohit Sharma was not playing in the Sydney Test. In such a situation, there were expectations from Virat as the most senior player of the team. But those hopes were shattered. Virat Kohli did share a 40-run partnership with Gill for the third wicket but he could not make any major contribution personally. Virat Kohli has put Team India in trouble by losing his wicket. When he was out, the team’s score was just 72 runs for 4 wickets, which is a worrying situation.
