Virat Kohli promises revenge when New Zealand visit India after Test series whitewash

Team India finished their tour of New Zealand on a dismal note. They lost the second Test in just three days. The Virat Kohli-led side lost the second Test match to New Zealand by 7 wickets. While Indian bowlers were impressive once again, it was the batting line-up that failed to fire. The loss in the two-match Test series was their first series loss in the ICC World Test Championship. Despite losing the Test series, Team India still remain at the top of the points table. Apart from meekly surrendering the series, Virat Kohli made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
