New Delhi: India are currently facing New Zealand in the decisive Test of their three-match series at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In this must-win match where India needs a victory to prevent a series whitewash fans had high hopes that Virat Kohli would regain his form and deliver with the bat. However his struggles persisted as he was dismissed for just 4 runs a dismissal that left fans stunned. Even former India head coach Ravi Shastri expressed disappointment over Kohlis continued rough patch. As Virat Kohli came out to bat India had just lost two quick wickets in the closing moments of the days play — Yashasvi Jaiswal and nightwatchman Mohammed Siraj. Kohli’s dismissal was unexpected and unusual. He nudged the ball directly toward Matt Henry and set off for a single. However the ball was far too close for a safe run and Henry seized the opportunity with a direct hit leaving Kohli well short of his crease.
