The first day of the Bengaluru Test was washed out by rain but the Indian batsmen’s hopes were revived on the second day. Team India lost 6 wickets in the first session of the second Test. The team’s score was just 34 runs till lunch and stalwarts like Rohit-Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz, KL Rahul and Jadeja returned to the pavilion. Virat Kohli disappointed a lot. This superstar batsman of Team India could not even open his account and his wicket was taken by William O’Rourke. With this, Virat Kohli created a record that no batsman wants in his account.
Virat became number 1 in zero
Virat Kohli became the number 1 batsman to be dismissed for a wicket in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test. As for the current players, Virat Kohli has 38 ducks in international cricket and is the number 1 batsman in getting out without opening his account. However, New Zealand’s fast bowler Tim Southee has also been dismissed for 38 runs. Rohit Sharma has also been dismissed 33 times for zero.
Will say again what has been said before. Virat has compounded his problems by wanting to be on the front foot with every ball. Length doesn’t matter. Today’s dismissed ball could have been tucked comfortably off the back foot. #INDvNZ

Questions on Virat Kohli’s footwork
After the way Virat Kohli lost his wicket in the Bengaluru Test, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar, who was doing the commentary, questioned him. According to Sanjay Manjrekar, there is a problem with Virat Kohli’s footwork. Manjrekar tweeted that Virat Kohli is getting on the front foot before every ball. He could have easily played the ball on the back foot on which he was dismissed. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli was dismissed by fast bowler William O’Rourke on a superb short length ball. William O’Rourke hit the edge of Virat’s bat and was caught by Glenn Phillips at leg gully.
