Virat Kohli once again returned to the pavilion on the off stump ball. In the fifth and last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played in Sydney, the off stump ball did not leave Kohli alone. In the Sydney Test, Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and decided to bat. During the first innings, Kohli lost his wicket on an off stump ball that bounced.
This was not the first time in the series that Kohli was troubled by an off stump ball, rather he has lost his wicket in a similar way so far. This time the bounce also troubled Kohli. Australian fast bowler Scott Boland took Kohli’s wicket.
Boland bowled the ball on the line of the fifth or sixth stump. The ball had a lot of bounce, which Kohli could not understand and he immediately hit the bat. Kohli’s catch was taken in the slip. In this way, Kohli once again returned to the pavilion on an off stump ball. Kohli played an innings of 17 runs in 69 balls without hitting any boundary.
Here is the video of Kohli’s dismissal
