Virat Kohli’s Recent Performance
Indian cricketer Virat Kohli faced another disappointing outing. For the second consecutive match, he failed to score a single run. After returning to international cricket following a gap of nearly seven months, expectations were high. However, he could not deliver the desired performance.
In the Perth ODI against Australia, Kohli played eight balls but could not open his account. His struggles continued in Adelaide, where he was dismissed for zero again, this time in just four balls. This marks the first instance in Kohli’s ODI career where he has been dismissed for two consecutive ducks, adding an unwanted record to his name.
Series Overview and Match Details
The first ODI of the series was played in Perth. The match was disrupted by rain on multiple occasions, but the Aussies ultimately emerged victorious. Kohli attempted a drive off the off side and was caught by Mitchell Starc's backward-point fielder.
During the next game played at Adelaide, Kohli was leg before wicket and caught by Bartlett's ball. Surprisingly enough, he did not even appeal against the umpire's judgment. His premature death once again brought disappointment for the spectators.
Reactions and Speculation Among Fans
Kohli’s gesture to the crowd while returning to the pavilion triggered discussions online. Many fans began speculating whether he might retire from ODIs after this series. The topic has since become one of the most discussed issues on social media, with supporters expressing both concern and hope for his comeback.
