Virat Kohli is in trouble after India’s crushing defeat against New Zealand: Having lost the three-match Test series against New Zealand, Team India faces challenges ahead of the upcoming tour of Australia. The Black Caps secured a historic series win with one match to spare, helping to cement their credentials as former World Test Championship title holders. Unfortunately, Virat Kohli’s performance did not live up to expectations. After a disappointing performance in Bengaluru, he had a poor performance in Pune and scored just 1 and 17 runs in his two innings.
Kohli’s frustration was palpable after the dismissal; He was seen slamming his bat into a blue water container while returning to the dressing room, a moment that quickly went viral on social media.

Kohli was away from Test cricket for almost eight months, missing the series against England due to personal reasons and only returned for the series against South Africa in January. He was expected to perform well in the New Zealand series, but apart from an innings of 70, he has struggled to make an impact, failing to register a Test century since July 2023.
