Virat Kohli has been in poor touch in Test cricket throughout the entire 2024 calendar year. Throughout the entire year, Virat Kohli has managed only one 50+ score and just a solitary century. But what is more harrowing is his last score in the last 10 innings. His only saving grace is his unbeaten century in the second innings of the Perth Test.
India Cricket Team ace batter Virat Kohli has been in poor touch in the longest format of the game. Be it on home soil or away, Kohli has struggled to score runs. While the other batsman has relatively faired well, Kohli has been off-touch, failing to score runs when his team needed him to step up.
Kohli falters to his demons
The only thing that has remained constant is Virat Kohli’s dismissals. The star batter has fallen victim to his own demons. And now every opponent is making the best use of the same. Kohli’s inability to leave balls at spree has been a concern. His knack to got for balls pitched way outside off stump has seen Kohli dismissed very early on his innings.
His front-foot defense has seen him nicking balls at rather relative ease and giving catches either to the keeper or slip fielders. But, now Kohli is keen to redeem himself. He went on to take the nets on Day 4 of the Gabba Test, ready to fight hard and score big runs in India’s second innings of the IND vs AUS 3rd Test.
