Virat Kohli, the star batter of the Indian cricket team, once again delivered a disappointing performance as Australia dismissed him cheaply on Day 3 of the third Test match in Brisbane.
On Day 3 of the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane on Monday, Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey caught Indian cricket team star batsman Virat Kohli cheaply, continuing his dismal performance. Kohli only scored three runs before Hazlewood bowled him behind the wicket. Pujara noted in his study that playing against the old ball is where Kohli excels. His ‘technique’ hasn’t helped him play the new ball, as India’s top-order batsmen are also having trouble scoring runs.
In Perth, he scored a hundred runs while playing the old ball. That’s a really important thing as well,” Pujara stated on Star Sports.
“The new ball doesn’t suit his technique. He should bat ten, fifteen, or twenty overs later. The bowlers are new and full of confidence if he uses the new ball. However, Brisbane’s weather saved India from defeat.
On a day when the Australians could only bowl 17 overs against the visitors and players had to leave the field seven times because of rain, a shattered India hobbled to 51-4 at stumps.
At the conclusion of a rainy day, KL Rahul and captain Rohit Sharma were both on 33, but Sharma had not yet scored.
After knocking Australia out for 445 earlier in the first session, India lost three early wickets and needed 245 to escape the follow-on.
