IND vs NZ: Virat Kohli came to bat at number three after eight years, created an unwanted record

Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Team India’s veteran batsman Virat Kohli flopped badly in this match. Virat Kohli was out without opening the account in this match. Virat Kohli came to bat at number three in this match after a long time. After the early dismissal of Team India captain Rohit Sharma, fans had high expectations from Virat Kohli. Everyone believed that today a big innings would be seen from him on his IPL home ground, but after facing 9 balls, Kohli returned to the pavilion without opening the account. This poor form of Virat is becoming a matter of concern for Team India in Test cricket. Virat Kohli batted at number three in place of Shubman Gill. Shubman Gill has not been included in the playing eleven of the Bengaluru Test match. Due to being unfit, he could not play in this match. For this reason, Virat Kohli batted at number three in his place. Virat Kohli batted at number three in Test cricket after eight years. Before this, he last played at number three in 2016. This time when he came to bat at number three, he returned to the pavilion without opening the account on the ball of William O’Rourke. After this flop performance of Virat Kohli, a surprising figure has come to light. Batting at number three in Test matches, he has scored runs at an average of only 16.16 in seven innings. His highest score during this period has been 41 runs. Looking at these figures it is clear that Virat Kohli is not that successful at number three but despite this he was sent to this position in the Bangalore Test match. Virat Kohli was last out on a duck in Test matches against New Zealand. He had returned to the pavilion on zero against New Zealand at Wankhede Stadium 32 innings ago and now once again he has been out on a duck against the Kiwi team.

Veteran player Hemang Badani can be appointed the head coach of Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season. Let us tell you that Hemang Badani has played four Tests and 40 ODI matches for Team India. This former player has scored 94 runs in 4 Tests while he has 867 runs in 40 ODIs. Apart from Hemang Badani, Delhi Capitals can appoint former Indian batsman Venugopal Rao as its Director of Cricket. Hemang Badani can replace Ricky Ponting as head coach, who has held this important responsibility for 7 years, while Venugopal Rao can be appointed Director of Cricket in place of former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. Let us tell you that for a long time, the performance of Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League has been quite disappointing. In the Indian Premier League 2024, Delhi Capitals had won 7 out of 14 matches while they had to face defeat in 7. The team was at sixth position with 14 points. In the 2023 season, Delhi Capitals had won only five out of 14 matches. Delhi Capitals would like to perform well in the Indian Premier League 2025. An IPL source told PTI, ‘DC management wants to hand over important responsibilities to Hemang Badani and Munaf Patel. The final decision is yet to be taken. Munaf Patel may get the post of bowling coach. Hemang Badani has worked as a fielding coach and scout for the Sunrisers Hyderabad team for two seasons but has never played the role of head coach in this important tournament. However, this veteran player may get important responsibility in the upcoming season. Even though Delhi Capitals have failed to show tremendous performance in the last few seasons, the team would definitely like to win the trophy for the 2025 season.
