“Hopefully doesn’t drop down after the 2nd Test. It’s his home ground” – Twitter reacts as Virat Kohli has an average of 77.83 in Delhi in Tests

Former Indian captain Virat Kohli must be really disappointed with the mode of his dismissal during the first innings of the first Test match against Australia at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur.

India’s run-scoring machine could have avoided playing the shot which was going way down the leg side. However, he chose to play it and fell for the trap set by debutant Todd Murphy.

While Virat Kohli tried to nudge it, he ended up giving it straight to Alex Carey behind the stumps. Australia’s wicketkeeper-batsman showed an incredible presence of mind as he took a good catch.

Virat Kohli departed for 12 runs and was literally frustrated with himself for getting dismissed for a cheap score. However, he will be looking forward to making his presence count surely in the upcoming Test.

Virat Kohli has an average of 77.83 in Delhi in Tests

The 34-year-old Indian stalwart last scored his Test century back in 2019 during a day-night pink-ball affair against the Bangladesh cricket team. It’s been more than three years since he scored his last Test ton.

Not long ago, Kohli ended his ODI century drought after 40 months as he achieved the feat against Bangladesh in the third ODI in Chittagong. The second Test between India and Australia will get underway tomorrow at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

In fact, India have a very good record at this particular venue as they have not lost a Test in 36 years, which is quite an impressive achievement. On the other hand, Virat Kohli has a staggering batting average of 77.83 in Delhi in Tests.

The upcoming Test is going to be played on Kohli’s home ground. Kohli also trained really well in the nets and spent some additional hours working on his batting technique.

Kohli has played 105 Tests wherein he scored 8131 runs at an average of 48.7 including 27 centuries and 28 fifties to his name.

Hopefully doesn't drop down after the second test. It's his home ground.
