Delhi: The first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is being played in Perth, and the great batsman of the Indian team, Virat Kohli was once again seen struggling for his form. In the first innings, the former captain returned to the pavilion after scoring only 5 runs in 12 balls. He was dismissed by Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood with his excellent bowling.
Kohli struggled on the pitch, but returned to the pavilion after being caught in the slips on Hazlewood’s outgoing ball. This is a big shock for his fans and team, because big scores are always expected from Virat.
Disappointing performance in last 7 innings
Virat Kohli’s recent form has become a matter of concern. He has scored only 102 runs in the last 7 test innings. King Kohli has not been in his element for some time now. His flop in big matches is becoming a headache for Team India.
This flop show of Virat also hurts because his performance against Australia has been excellent earlier. He played memorable innings in the 2018-19 series, but this time he has failed to perform as per his identity.
Fans are hopeful of comeback
However, Kohli’s fans are still hoping for his return. He believes that this is just a phase and ‘King Kohli’ will soon return to form. Will Kohli be able to bring back his lost shine in the next match after the disappointment in Perth? It will be interesting to see.
