Virat Kohli’s Batting Struggle In IND Vs BAN, 1st Test
Virat Kohli has failed to make an impact in the first Test as he registered scores of 6 and 17 in both the innings.
In the first innings he was dismissed on an outside off stump delivery by Hasan Mahmud. In the second innings he was caught in a wrong LBW decision and chose not to review it, but later it was discovered that there was an ultraedge where there was a contact between bat and bowl.
