Virat Kohli’s struggles in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 have been a major talking point, with his difficulty in dealing with deliveries outside the off-stump costing him his wicket in every match.
This was the sixth time in the series that Kohli fell victim to an edge in this challenging zone. The “corridor of uncertainty” refers to the area just outside the off-stump, luring batters into playing shots that often lead to edges caught by the slips or wicketkeeper. Bowlers have capitalized on this weakness, consistently enticing Kohli into risky shots that result in dismissals.
Virat Kohli all dismissals in Australia
Out of Kohli’s last 30 dismissals in Australia, 29 have been caught behind, with just one instance of being run out. This means he has been dismissed by only outside-off deliveries. In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he was dismissed in the same manner in all the matches, raising concerns.
