A look at Virat Kohli's failure

A look at Virat Kohli’s failure: Will he be able to make a comeback? The failure of Indian batsmen on the first day of Perth Test was largely stopped by Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliant bowling. The conditions on Perth’s WACA pitch proved to be very difficult for the Indian batsmen. However, Bumrah with his bowling rescued the team from the crisis and kept India strong.

Match Details

On the first day, the match was not just equal, but it seemed in India’s favor. The way Jasprit Bumrah bowled, India gained confidence. Bumrah had said, “The beauty of cricket is that even if you win, you start from zero, even if you lose, you start from zero. This is how I see the game.” Virat Kohli’s failure
In the absence of India’s captain Rohit Sharma, most expectations were on Virat Kohli, who is India’s most experienced batsman. Perth’s WACA pitch is famous for pace and bounce, and India won the toss and took the bold decision to bat first.

Young batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal returned to the pavilion early. After their failure, Virat Kohli had to come to the crease in the 12th over. However, Kohli’s batting was not very effective. He was out in just 12 balls.

Kohli’s amateurish way of getting out

Even experts were surprised to see the way Kohli got out. No one understood how to bat by coming out of the crease. On this pitch, Virat Kohli’s back foot was two feet ahead of the crease, which shows a decline in his confidence.

When Kohli got out in this manner, Josh Hazlewood bowled a back of the length ball, which was rising. Kohli played it on the front foot and was caught at first slip.

Analysis

Former Indian batsman Cheteshwar Pujara, while analyzing this innings, said that Kohli was standing outside the crease, which did not give him time to adjust to the ball. Pujara said, “When there is bounce in the pitch, you do not get a chance to go on the backfoot and play the ball.”

Kohli’s continuous failure

This was Kohli’s 10th wicket against Hazlewood. Now he has become the batsman who has been dismissed the most number of times by Australian bowlers. Earlier, James Anderson and Moeen Ali had also dismissed Kohli 10 times.

Reaction on social media

Kohli was trolled on social media after this dismissal. Cricket lovers made sharp comments about this and said that he could not have been dismissed in a worse way than this.
