He became the victim of Josh Hazlewood in the 17th over of the innings. Hazlewood had bowled a little back of length, Virat did not want to play the ball but due to extra bounce the ball hit the bat and Usman Khawaja took an easy catch in the slips. Hazlewood dismissed Virat for the 10th time in international cricket and the fourth time in Test cricket. Earlier, Kohli had not been able to show anything special in the Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Seeing such performance of Virat in the very first match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the tension of the fans has increased. Meanwhile, let us tell you about Virat Kohli’s dismissals in Australia so far through statistics- Virat Kohli was out LBW for the last time in Australia in 2012. Australian cricketer Trent Copeland analyzed Virat Kohli’s pattern of dismissals due to his poor form. He told that, instead of being LBW or clean bowled, Kohli was often given out through other methods. It turned out that, the last time Kohli was out via LBW, he faced 2,037 balls, while he faced 1,578 balls before being clean bowled. According to Wisden, the last bowler to get Virat out LBW was Ben Hilfenhaus in the 2012 Perth Test, while Mitchell Johnson bowled him in the 2014 Brisbane Test. Since then, he has been caught out on 13 out of 14 occasions in Australia, while being run out once during the Test played in Adelaide in 2020. Virat Kohli is good at pulling the ball, due to which Australian bowlers have rarely tried bodyline bowling against him. In previous tours, Australia had bowled only 6 percent of the balls on the stump line. The remaining 94 percent of the balls were placed outside the stumps. Virat Kohli has been out like this for the last 10 times in Australia. venue Year way out fielding position Perth 2024* caught out slip adelaide 2020 caught out Street adelaide 2020 run out , sydney 2019 caught out wicket keeper melbourne 2018 caught out leg alley melbourne 2018 caught out third match Perth 2018 caught out slip Perth 2018 caught out slip adelaide 2018 caught out short leg adelaide 2018 caught out Street

A green pitch has been prepared for the first Test and due to rain the pitch remained under cover for a long time, which may cause further problems for the batsmen. In such a situation, bowlers will be seen playing an important role. Know about Australia’s possible playing 11- Nathan McSweeney can be seen opening with Usman Khawaja in the first Test match against India. He scored 166 runs in 4 innings at an average of 55 in the unofficial test match against India A. McSweeney may get a chance to debut during the Perth Test. Australia’s middle order is strong with Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh. The fast bowling unit looks good with captain Pat Cummins, Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh. If needed, the team can use Marnus Labuschagne as the fifth fast bowler. Whereas, if we talk about spin, Nathan Lyon will play an important role. Australia’s playing 11: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon.
