Virat Kohli Failure: Virat Kohli yearned for every run, and saw such a bad phase in Australia for the first time in 14 years

Team India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli could not show any special feat even in the last innings of the Australian tour. Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion cheaply in the second innings of Team India's Sydney Test. Virat ended this Australian tour with a disappointing performance. Let us tell you that this is Virat's fifth Australian tour. Earlier, he had made a lot of noise in the Tests in Australia but this time his bat remained completely silent. This proved to be his worst tour in Australia so far.

Only 190 runs in 5 matches

Virat Kohli got caught by Steve Smith in the slips on Scott Boland's ball in the second innings of the Sydney Test. Kohli was out after scoring just 6 runs. With this, he ended the Australian tour in the same way as it had started. Virat could score just 23 runs in both innings of the Sydney Test, while in the entire series, Virat's bat produced just 190 runs in 9 innings of five matches. During this, he scored the only century in the second innings of the Perth Test. Apart from this, Virat did not even score a half-century.

There was a great record before this tour.

Virat Kohli visited Australia for the first time in 2011. Then he scored a century and a half-century. After this, Virat visited Australia for the second time for a Test in 2014. Then Virat showed his best game. During this time Virat scored 692 runs in four Tests with the help of four centuries and a half-century. His average was 86.50.

Then Virat came on the tour of Australia in 2018. Then he scored one century and one half-century. For the fourth time, Virat played only three innings in Tests on the tour of Australia and scored one half-century. Overall, from 2011-12 to the tour of 2020-21, Virat scored 1352 runs in 13 matches at an impressive average of 54.08. However, the 2024-25 Australia tour has proved to be the worst and most forgettable for Virat. By the way, let us tell you that not only this Australian tour but also the year 2024 has been a forgettable one for Virat. He scored 417 runs in 19 innings with just one century and one half-century. Kohli's average in Tests last year was less than 25.
