Virat Kohli has made a strong comeback in T20 and ODI cricket but has so far been unable to find his rhythm in Test cricket. He was able to score just 22 runs even in the Indore test between India and Australia. He has been running out of form for the last 3 years in red ball cricket. From the year 2020 till now, Virat Kohli has played 23 test matches but has only been able to add 1015 runs.
In the last 38 months, Virat Kohli played 40 innings of these 23 test matches. He went undefeated twice in these. In these 40 innings, he could only score runs with a batting average of 26.71. He failed to score a single century in these 40 innings. During this, he was barely able to put down just 6 fifty.
After failing in the first two matches of the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli looked washed out even in the third test which was played in Indore. He returned to the arena after scoring just 22 runs. He was lbw by Australian spinner Todd Murphy. By the way, in this match, Virat Kohli looked much better than other Indian batsmen. He scored the most runs among the top 7 batsmen.
In fact, the Indore countryside has also been made completely spin friendly like Nagpur and Delhi. The spinners are getting a lot of help since the first session here. The result was that in the first session of the first day, the Australian spinners sent the top 7 batsmen of the Indian team to the pavilion. In the first session of the Indore Test, the India team lost their 7 wickets for 84 runs. At the moment, the Indian team is in trouble in this test.
