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.

Virat Kohli broke MS Dhoni’s big record in Bengaluru, now behind only Sachin in this matter

He has become the second player to play the most number of international matches for India. Virat Kohli has broken Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s record in this matter. However, after 8 years, when he came to bat at number three in Test cricket, he failed miserably. His account was not even opened at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. He has been playing IPL on this ground for more than 15 years. In such a situation, his getting out for zero in the first innings of this historic match is not a good thing for a big player like him. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli came to play the 536th international match for India today. MS Dhoni has played 535 matches for Team India. In this way, Virat Kohli went ahead of his former captain MS Dhoni, but Virat is still 128 matches behind Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket. Sachin Tendulkar has played 664 matches for India in international cricket. At number four is Rahul Dravid, who has played 504 matches for India in his career and Rohit Sharma is at fifth position in the list, who has played 486 matches for India in international cricket so far. Players who have played most international matches for India 664 matches – Sachin Tendulkar 536 matches – Virat Kohli 535 matches – MS Dhoni 504 matches – Rahul Dravid 486 matches – Rohit Sharma

IND vs NZ: Rohit will create history by scoring 258 runs in the series, will become the first Indian batsman to do so

Rohit Sharma (Source X) India is all set to take on New Zealand in the first Test of the three-match series, with the first match to be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru from October 16. Rohit Sharma will lead the team, here their aim will be to win their 18th consecutive series on home ground. Apart from captaining the team, Rohit will also play an important role with the bat. Actually, Indian captain Rohit is on the threshold of achieving a big achievement in this series which no Indian has been able to achieve before him. Rohit Sharma has scored 742 runs in the current World Test Championship 2023-25 ​​cycle. They need to score 258 runs in the three-match series against New Zealand to score 1000 runs in this cycle. Rohit Sharma can become the first Indian captain to do so If he succeeds in doing so, he will become the first Indian batsman to score 1000 thousand or more runs in two consecutive World Test Championship cycles. He last achieved this feat in the WTC 2019-21 cycle, where he scored 1094 runs. Rohit scored two centuries and one half-century in 15 Test innings this year but could score only 497 runs in the remaining 13 innings. Kohli, who is 53 runs away from 9000 Test runs, has not scored even a half-century in six innings this year. He played innings of 46 runs against South Africa and 47 runs against Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma currently has 12 wins as India captain in his WTC career. Virat Kohli is the most successful Indian captain in the history of the tournament with 14 wins. If India whitewashes New Zealand in this series, then Rohit Sharma will overtake Virat in terms of wins in WTC and become India’s most successful captain.

“The captain and coach asked me to play red ball cricket…”- Sanju Samson’s big revelation

Samson, who made his white-ball debut for India in 2015, has not played a single Test yet. Samson scored 3819 runs in 64 first class matches at an average of 38.96, which included 11 centuries.

After performing well on a few occasions for the ODI and T20 team, Sanju Samson is now eyeing to play Test cricket. Before Duleep Trophy 2024, the leadership group of Team India has told him that he should play as many first class matches as possible. The leadership group includes captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir. I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket- Sanju Samson Speaking to Sportstar, Samson said, “I believe I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket and I don’t want to limit myself to just white ball cricket.

Before the Duleep Trophy, the leadership group had told me that they were considering me for red-ball cricket and asked me to take it seriously and play as many Ranji Trophy matches as possible.” Samson further said about this, “This time my preparation was good. After the series against Sri Lanka, I trained with Rahul Dravid sir and Zubin Bharucha at the RR Academy and worked on my game. The century in the Duleep Trophy has given me a lot of confidence because it came against some of the best bowlers in the country.” Samson has scored centuries for India in ODI and T20 International cricket. At present, Rishabh Pant is with the team as a wicketkeeper batsman, but now Sanju Samson can also be considered in the future.

The captain further said, “We want to keep Mayank, Harshit and Nitish with us, because we are thinking of taking them to Australia, we want to build bench strength, especially with fast bowlers. We have 8 or 9 options, not just 3 or 4. Like batting, we want more options in bowling also.” “We don’t want to be too dependent on a few players,” he added. It is not right to do this. Looking at the future, we want to try to ensure that we get the right players.” This is why India has fast bowlers Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prasidh Krishna for the three Test matches against New Zealand.
