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.

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

“’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.

Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding traveling reserve players Captain Rohit said in the press conference before the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru, “There are a lot of options when it comes to batting. We want to do the same in bowling also. We want to build bench strength where if anything happens to anyone tomorrow, we don’t have to worry. 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. Present as a reserve player for the series. Rohit said, “Tomorrow if we feel that he is ready to play that role (in place of the injured fast bowler) then he should be ready for it. Of course he played some matches before our announcement.
