Delhi: In the Melbourne Test, Steve Smith scored a brilliant century, while three Australian batsmen scored half-centuries and the team scored 474 runs. But on the same pitch where the Kangaroo batsmen performed brilliantly, Kohli failed miserably. Virat scored 76 runs in the first innings, but once again he was out after tampering with the ball outside the off stump. Virat took the edge of the bat on a good length ball from Scott Boland and wicketkeeper Alex Carey took an easy catch.

Did Jaiswal’s mistake divert Virat’s attention?
After the fall of Virat Kohli’s wicket, it was discussed that Yashasvi Jaiswal’s run out had an impact on Virat. Actually, Yashasvi Jaiswal was run out in the 41st over. He had a misunderstanding with Virat Kohli, due to which he was not ready to run. After this, many former cricketers said that Jaiswal’s wicket distracted Virat and he got out early.
Yashasvi Jaiswal run out
Virat and Yashasvi together took care of Team India after the initial loss and there was a partnership of 102 runs between them. But in the 41st over, Jaiswal tried to steal a run, but Virat Kohli was not ready, the result was that Jaiswal was run out. Jaiswal returned after scoring 82 runs. Shortly after this, Virat Kohli’s wicket also fell and then Akashdeep was also out in the next over. In this way Team India lost three wickets in just 6 balls.
Team India’s troubles increased
The second day’s play was nothing special for Team India. Batting was going well in the beginning, but by the end of the day India lost five wickets for 164 runs. Now the team is 310 runs behind Australia. However, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja are at the crease, and Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar are still to come, who are keeping India’s hopes alive.
