New Delhi: Before getting on the dismissal, I would want you people to know that India’s star batter Virat Kohli completed 9,000 runs in Test Cricket and becomes the fourth Indian player to reach the 9,000-run mark, joining legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar. Virat Kohli has achieved this feat in 116 Test matches, currently, he was 53 runs short of achieving this feat but he achieved it by scoring a stunning half-century against New Zealand in the first Test at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
The dismissal of Virat Kohli took place in the 49th over of India’s second innings. Glenn Phillips bowled a flatted delivery outside off and Virat Kohli got a faint edge through to the wicketkeeper. The 35-year-old feathered the ball and Blundell was convinced before the TV umpire confirmed it was out. Virat Kohli saw the big screen and looked gutted.
It is worth mentioning that, Virat Kohli had changed the gloves just a ball earlier after diving for a second run at the striker’s end. With the wicket, Glenn Phillips broke the 136-run-third-wicket partnership between Sarfaraz Khan and Virat Kohli.
