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.

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.

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.

“’Kohli’s focus is not on numbers, but on winning matches for India’ – former RCB coach warns Kangaroos
Team India will tour Australia in November. Mike Hesson & Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) coach Mike Hesson believes that Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where his first goal is to help India win matches rather than making personal records. The former Indian captain is going through a bad phase in Test cricket, he has not been able to register a single 50+ score in Tests this year. Since 2019, he has managed to score only two centuries in the longest format of the game. While his teammates like Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson are making rapid progress in red-ball cricket, Kohli is struggling to live up to his standards. Mike Hesson gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Hesson said, ‘I think Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where he wants to win matches for India. I think it’s a dangerous transition for other teams because if they’re doing that instead of focusing on numbers, big scores will come naturally. The ability to maintain a momentum is important in Australia. For this, the batsman has to be able to counterattack and wait for the right moment to do so. 30 to 60 overs is an important phase there. If Kohli is batting at that time then he will not let the game go astray. It’s about finding the gap, playing shots in the gap. If they try the same this time too and are capable, then they can prove to be dangerous against Australia. Hesson said that despite not having any big scores against Bangladesh, Kohli looked in great form and added that he would do well against teams like New Zealand and Australia. Hesson said, ‘He was in good form and even though he did not score big against Bangladesh, he seemed to be getting into good shape. Going to Australia after playing against New Zealand would suit him as he performs well in these conditions.
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.
