Virat Kohli has been struggling to score runs in the red-ball format for the last few years
Coming to the match, Delhi delivered a magnificent performance as they won the game by a massive margin of innings and 19 runs. Virat Kohli didn't have a great outing with the bat as he struggled to score big yet again in red-ball cricket as his poor run continued.
Kohli has been struggling to score runs in the red-ball format for the last few years. This has become the biggest cause of concern for the India National Cricket Team. He has been averaging in mid 20s since 2020, which is well below par.
Kohli came back to the Ranji Trophy after the BCCI made it mandatory for all contracted players to play domestic cricket. It was expected that he would get some runs under his belt and gain some confidence but that wasn't the case.
Kohli was removed by Himanshu Sangwan, who bowled a swinging ball that went through the gap between bat and pad to send the stump cartwheeling. He now will be seen in action during the ODI series against the England National Cricket Team, which will begin on 6th February.
