Virat, who had faced 26 balls, was seen hitting two fours. In the 53rd over of the innings, Virat Kohli could not understand a simple ball from Todd Murphy and the ball took the edge of his bat and got into the gloves of the wicketkeeper.

Talking about Virat Kohli’s performance against spinners, from the year 2021 till now, he has become the victim of spinners 12 times in 16 Test innings on Asian soil. In this, the off-spinner has taken his wicket 6 times. After Kohli’s dismissal like this, the commentators in the match said, Virat is constantly trying to play the spinner on the backfoot and during this time his bat is also not straight. If he keeps the bat straight against the spinners, then he can get rid of this problem.
