Virat Kohli:
Team India ‘s
legendary batsman Virat Kohli ‘s bat is silent these days. In the Pune Test, Kohli was required to play the same great innings that he played against South Africa in 2019. But he proved to be a flop in the first innings. He could score only 1 run in this innings. He could not even see the ball on which he used to hit a four with his eyes closed. The way Virat Kohli lost his wicket on Mitchell Santner’s ball, the former Indian legend has termed it as the worst shot of his career.
Sanjay Manjrekar said this about Virat Kohli
After getting out on the Pune pitch, Virat’s face was filled with disappointment. Kohli himself knew that this is not the player he is known for. Not only fans but also former players of the cricket world are surprised to see the King like this. Team India’s ex-cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar called this shot of Kohli the worst shot of his career and wrote on X,
” Oh dear! Virat himself will know that he has played the worst shot of his career to get out. Got to feel for him… as always he came out with solid and honest intent. “

Mitchell Santner caused a stir
In the Pune Test, New Zealand included their biggest match winner Mitchell Santner in the team. After his return, Santner lived up to his team’s expectations and took the first 5 wickets of his career. He did take 7 wickets in the first innings but the way he took Kohli’s wicket became the most memorable wicket of his career. Because it is a big deal for any bowler to deceive Kohli in this way. Kohli was beaten and bowled on Santner’s full-toss ball. The video of his wicket is becoming quite viral on social media.
