Chennai: In the first test match being played between India and Bangladesh, the first day's play was very good for Team India. However, the top order disappointed in India's first innings. Virat Kohli, who has a great record against Bangladesh, also failed. He returned to the pavilion after scoring only 6 runs.
Virat Kohli has returned to Test cricket after 8 months against Bangladesh. Where he failed to bat brilliantly. There can be many reasons behind this, but today we will talk about those three reasons due to which Kohli is failing…
Virat Kohli has always been troubled by the ball that goes outside the off stump. He often falls prey to such balls. Something similar was seen against Bangladesh as well, when he tried to play away from his body on the ball bowled outside the off stump. But his attempt failed and the ball touched the edge of his bat and went into the hands of wicketkeeper Liton.
The second reason for Virat Kohli's failure can be considered his distance from Test cricket. He is playing Test cricket after almost 8 months. Before this match, Kohli played a Test in Newlands, South Africa in January. After which he did not play in the Test series against England in January-February due to his personal reasons. In such a situation, it was natural to see Virat, who has come to play Test cricket after a long time, struggling against Bangladesh.
Virat Kohli does not play domestic cricket. In such a situation, he is not able to practice well for the test. This can also be the reason for his flop show. In such a situation, some people believe that he should try his hand at domestic cricket. This can improve his batting even more.
This year is not going well for Virat Kohli. He has played 15 international matches this year. He has scored only 302 runs in 16 innings with a very poor average of 18.87. He has not scored a single century. His best score during this time has been 76 runs. He has scored 3 half-centuries.
