After a low score in the first innings, the onus was on Kohli to do better in the second outing. The former India skipper looked in good touch before receiving a peach from Stokes that ended his stay.
Kohli had only managed 11 in the first innings before being cleaned up a Matthew Potts. The 33-year-old’s lean patch has stretched over the last couple of years. The ex-captain last scored an international century back in November 2019.
One of the greatest of his generation, Virat Kohli is going through a lean patch. Having amassed centuries for fun in his late 20s, Kohli is yet to reach the three-figure mark since 2019. The 33-year-old’s lack of runs has led to many questions surrounding his commitment and desire to the team’s cause.
While head coach Rahul Dravid has backed his former captain wholeheartedly, concerns remain regarding Kohli’s form. While the 33-year-old has nothing to prove, he needs to overcome this patch of poor form for his and Team India’s sake.
