The same wound that Virat Kohli wanted to forget, came back to haunt him after 7 years, what kind of a scar did the failure against New Zealand give?

It is said that it is better to forget the bad times. Virat Kohli also wanted the same. But, the failures in the Test series against New Zealand left such a scar that his old wound has become fresh again. Now you must be thinking that Kohli's failures are fine but what is that old wound of his? Kohli's wound is linked to the Test series played 7 years ago. Where his condition was exactly like the one seen in the Test series against New Zealand.
What happened 7 years ago, the same thing happened again.
Virat Kohli was seen in a bad condition in the Test series played against Australia 7 years ago. The situation in which Virat was seen in that series played in 2017 was never seen before in his Test career. Virat Kohli wanted to forget those situations that arose in front of him. But, 7 years after that incident, something happened again in the series being played against New Zealand, which has reminded Virat Kohli of that old wound.
Virat Kohli's 7-year-old wound!
Now let's find out what is that 7-year-old wound of Virat Kohli. It is related to his failure to score even 100 runs in a Test series of 3 or more matches on home soil. In this case, Virat Kohli's condition in the Test series against New Zealand is the same as it was in the series played against Australia in 2017.
What happened in the 2017 and 2024 Test series?
In the Test series played against Australia in 2017, Virat Kohli scored only 46 runs. That is, he was far away from crossing the threshold of 100 runs. The same was seen in the 3 Test series against New Zealand. In this series, Virat Kohli could score only 93 runs, in which his average was 15.50. This is Virat's second-worst average in a Test series of 2 plus matches played on home ground. His worst average of 9.2 was in the series played against Australia in 2017.
This happened only twice in his Test career.
This is only the second time in Virat Kohli's Test career that he has played a series of 3 or more Tests on home ground and has failed to score 100+ runs in it. This is the second time that Virat Kohli has been accused of such a crime due to his failure against New Zealand. The result of Virat's failure is that the Indian team has lost the series against New Zealand.
