Ind vs Aus: Virat Kohli dismissed for cheap by Josh Hazlewood - Watch

Virat Kohli's poor run of form continued on Day 1 of the Perth Test between India and Australia, on Friday (Nov 22), as the star batter got dismissed by a peach off a delivery from Josh Hazlewood for five. After Jasprit Bumrah-led India opted to bat first, India lost early wickets as Kohli walked out to bat at No. 4. His stay was cut short soon as Hazlewood bowled a well-executed short delivery to dismiss Kohli as India went into the lunch break reeling at 51-4.

Here is the video of Hazlewood trapping Kohli with extra bounce -

Kohli was batting way outside his crease to negate the bounce and movement at the Optus Stadium. He was looking to play on the front foot. Hazlewood, however, outfoxed him with a smart short-pitched delivery. The former Indian captain was caught in no-man's land as the ball climbed onto him, got an edge and was caught by Usman Khawaja at the slips. He never looked comfortable during his 12-ball stay as his bad runcontinues.

Following Kohli's fall, India has slipped further. At the time of publishing this report, they are reeling at 108 for 6 with Rishabh Pant and debutant Nitish Reddy batting in the middle. India would aim for anything above 200 to challenge the Aussies in the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener.
