This is something no one expected. Despite knowing Virat Kohli hasn’t been in his best form, no matter what, the run machine always looks well-oiled in ICC tournaments. However, in the ongoing Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh, he completely slipped up to a spinner, making only 22 runs off 38 balls. What stood out was that, for a long time, he didn’t hit a boundary; in fact, only one four came off his bat. To top it off, it was a spinner, to be specific, a leg-spinner, who cleaned him up.
Rishad Hossain was the bowler who dismissed him. There’s no doubt that Virat Kohli’s struggles against spin, especially against leg spinners, are nothing new. Before the Champions Trophy, he struggled against Adil Rashid in the recently concluded series against England, and before to that, he also struggled against spinners in Sri Lanka. Now, after all this, fans are clearly unhappy and showing their reactions, criticizing his struggles against leg spinners. Take a look at all the reactions and see what fans are saying about his ‘slow’ innings.
