IND vs NZ, First Test: Kohli out for a duck, but surpasses Dhoni’s record.

Delhi: The first match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, where the Indian team won the toss and decided to bat first. However, this decision was not in favor of Rohit Sharma. Within the first 10 runs, the Indian team lost three important wickets, in which captain Rohit Sharma also returned to the pavilion cheaply.

Amidst the rain in Bengaluru, fans got a glimpse of Kohli, the entire stadium echoed with the name of the great cricketer.

After this, Virat Kohli came to bat at number-3, who had come to this position in Test cricket for the first time in the last eight years, but his attempt was unsuccessful. Kohli played 8 balls, but without opening the account, he became the victim of New Zealand fast bowler William O’Rourke. His catch was taken by Glenn Phillips.

Although Kohli was out on a duck, he still made an important record in his name. During this match, he overtook former great captain and wicketkeeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni in terms of playing most number of international matches for India. Dhoni had played 535 matches for India in his career, while Kohli has now overtaken him with 536 matches. In this list, Little Master Sachin Tendulkar is at first place with 664 matches.

Could not perform well even in the test series against Bangladesh

Kohli’s recent form is also a matter of concern, because he could not perform well even in the Test series against Bangladesh. In the Chennai Test, he scored 6 and 17 runs, while in the Kanpur Test he contributed 47 and 29* runs not out.
