Virat Kohli Wicket in BGT By Josh Hazelwood: Virat Kohli started his Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 with a miss as the Indian star batter was dismissed by Josh Hazlewood. Indian batters continue their abysmal form in the red ball cricket, as the visitors already lost 5 wickets while adding 67 runs when this article was written.
Indian stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and decided to bat first. As the match started, it was understood that Bumrah’s call went wrong as India lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck in the second over. Mitchel Starc sent him to the hands of Nathan McSweeney. Indian score was just 5 at that point. India lost another wicket, this time Devdutt Padikkal, who also couldn’t add a single run to his account. Indian score was 14/2 in 10.6 overs.
Virat Kohli’s turn was next. The ball’s unexpected behavior tricked the Indian star. Hazlewood’s second ball in the sixteenth over gave an extra bounce, and it touched the bat and went to the slip where Usman Khawaja was present with his tight hands. Khawaja got him, and Kohli walked back with sheer disbelief.

Kohli’s record on Australian soil is one of the best by an Indian batter. This raised the expectation that the batter would perform well in his possibly last Test series in Australia. Kohli has played 13 Test matches in Australia and scored an astonishing 1352 with an average of 54.08. 6 centuries and 4 fifties decorate this total.
