Virat Kohli had to leave the field due to a mistake! Click here to know what happened in the Chennai Test!
Team India's star batsman Virat Kohli returned to Test cricket after about 9 months. Virat flopped in the match against Bangladesh in Chennai. He was out after scoring just 6 runs in the first innings. Bangladesh's fast bowler Hasan Mahmud hunted him down. Mahmud bowled a full-length ball on the outside off. Virat went to play on it and gave an easy catch to wicketkeeper Litton Das. He returned to the pavilion after playing a very bad shot. Mahmud gave the third blow to the Indian team with this. Before this, he had dismissed Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill.
Had to leave the field due to a mistake
If we look at Virat's last 10 Test innings, he has performed well. He has also scored two half-centuries and two centuries. But he was away from Test matches for about 9 months and was playing T20 cricket, the effect of which was seen in Chennai. He lost his wicket while trying to play the outside of the ball. Hasan Mahmud bowled the ball away from the body, which fell and was going towards the fourth stump. Kohli went to play this ball and got out in the slip on a personal score of 6 runs. Virat has been getting out even before this by playing the balls of the fourth-fifth stump. But the surprising thing was that Hasan Mahmud, playing only the fourth match, took advantage of this weakness of his.
Virat Kohli has been continuously failing since the T20 World Cup 2024. Apart from his half-century inning played in the T20 World Cup final, he has failed to score runs in the last 10 innings of international cricket. Kohli has been able to score only one half-century in the last 10 innings. Before Bangladesh, he played an ODI series against Sri Lanka. He could score only 58 runs in 3 innings of the Sri Lanka tour. Before that, he could score only 151 runs in 8 innings of the T20 World Cup, which also includes an innings of 76 runs played in the final.
