Between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ 1st Test) test series The first match is being played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru where Team India captain Rohit Sharma (Rohit Sharma) won the toss and elected to bat first. Indian cricket fans expected that Virat would perform brilliantly in the Bengaluru Test and score a lot of runs for Team India, but something different was seen here.
Actually, Virat surrendered in front of 23 year old New Zealand bowler William O’Rourke and lost his wicket on the score of zero. This incident happened in the 9th over of the Indian innings. The host team had already lost the wicket of captain Rohit Sharma cheaply, hence the fans had high expectations from Virat, but in Bengaluru, Kohli also completely flopped in the team’s first innings.
William O’Rourke delivered the last ball of the over to Kohli while inswinging. This ball quickly went towards the batsman where Kohli was completely surprised. This ball of O’Rourke took the edge of his bat and went straight towards the backward shot leg where Glenn Phillips took a wonderful catch. In such a situation, Virat lost his wicket without opening his account after playing 9 balls at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, one of his favorite grounds.
