Virat Kohli trolled for another lacklustre innings during IND vs AUS 2nd Test
In Adelaide's first Test against Australia on Friday, Australia bowled out India's top batsman, Virat Kohli, for just 7 runs off 8 balls. Having come off the tail of his 30th Test century in Perth, Kohli struggled to match his form in Day 1's opening session of the pink-ball Test. He dropped to a short delivery from Mitchell Starc that jumped aggressively, causing a catch-and-slip. This dismissal matched his first-innings exit from Perth, where Josh Hazlewood's similar delivery had him edging to the slips.
