For Virat Kohli, the home Test series against New Zealand is proving to be no less than a canker. Virat Kohli seems to be facing failure after failure in the entire series. After the Bangalore and Pune Tests, now something happened to him in the Mumbai Test which his fans might not even believe after seeing it. Virat Kohli was run out on a personal score of just 4 runs in the first innings of Mumbai Test. The big thing is that Virat Kohli’s run out was his own fault.
How did Virat get run out?
Virat Kohli’s wicket fell in the 19th over of the innings. On the third ball of Rachin Ravindra, Virat Kohli tried to steal a run by playing a shot in the mid-on area but Henry caught the ball with one hand and hit it straight on the stump and Virat was run out. Virat Kohli also dived but could not reach inside the crease. Virat Kohli was run out for the fourth time in his Test career.

Team India lost 3 wickets for 6 runs
The Indian team had lost the wicket of captain Rohit Sharma early. Rohit Sharma was out after scoring only 18 runs. But after this, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal took over the team by making a half-century partnership. But then the disappointing performance of the Indian team’s batsmen started from the 18th over. When the team’s score was 78 runs, Yashasvi Jaiswal was out after playing reverse sweep. After this, Team India sent Siraj and he was out on the first ball. Virat Kohli also gave away his wicket on the personal score of 4 runs. The first day could have been good for Team India but everything changed within 6 runs.
Virat Kohli’s form is bad
Apart from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli’s form is also very bad. This player has scored only 191 runs in the last 9 Test innings at an average of 23.88. He has been able to score one half-century during this period. If Virat Kohli continues to play like this, then you yourself know what will happen to Team India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
