New Delhi: India vs Australia 2024: Virat Kohli trolled for unusual dismissal, fans says ‘worst possible’ way to give away your wicket.
The first test match India vs Australia 2024 is taking place at OPTUS stadium in Perth. The Un-availability of Rohit Sharma was an obvious miss but expectation were high from Virat Kohli. Averaging over 50 and six centuries in Australia raised the expectation from the veteran. But an amazing zipper from Josh Hazlewood forced his dismissal on just five giving a hue blow to Indian batting order.
Kohli has been out of form in test matches for last couple of months and this could be his last opportunity to keep his place in the side.
Unfortunately things didn’t turned up well as he brutally trolled for his ‘walking wicket’. Virat tried to use his feet to counter swing and bounce but got an edge that carried to the first sleep where Usman Khawaja took a clean catch on the first inning of Perth test match. The dismissal of Kohli left India under huge scoreboard pressure, 36-3 in crucial campaign sighting World Test Championship final 2025.

The first test match started up well for Jasprit Bumrah as he won the toss and choose to bat, but that seemed the only favor of luck India had on Day 1, opener Jaiswal and Padikkal failed to trouble the scorecard and dismissed on duck, KL Rahul was setting his eye on the pitch, in process he failed courtesy to a controversial decision by the third umpire. Virat tried to change his fortune by doing slight adjustment in his batting stance but that too didn’t pay him well as he failed short to an absolute Jaffer from Josh Hazlewood.
The struggle of Virat Kohli is proving to be a nightmare for Indian cricket Team. Averaging just 21.2 with one half century in 10 innings that he played in 2024. If Indian cricket team is eyeing world Test championship final, he is the man that India need back in form.
Currently India reeling 82-6 after 36 over on the first day of Perth Test Match. Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy currently holding on to the crease trying to take India to a respectable total.
