Virat Kohli is out on zero for the second time in a row. In the second ODI being played against Australia at Adelaide Oval, Xavier Bartlett got him out LBW. Kohli talked to Rohit for some time and walked out of the field, deciding not to take the review. This is the first time in ODI history that Kohli could not open his account in two consecutive matches.
Earlier, after winning the toss, Mitchell Marsh had decided to bowl first. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma started the innings, both of them batted carefully but as soon as Gill attempted a shot, he was caught out. After this, Virat Kohli came on the field, a big innings was expected from him because Adelaide Oval has been one of his favorite grounds. But here also he was out on zero.
Xavier Bartlett took Kohli’s wicket
26-year-old Xavier Bartlett got Virat Kohli out LBW on the 5th ball of the 7th over. This ball of Bartlett was on good length. On this inswinging ball, Kohli wanted to flick it from the back foot towards mid-wicket but the ball did not hit the bat. The ball hit the pad straight, an appeal was made and the umpire gave out. Kohli talked to Rohit for some time but decided that he was out and DRS should not be taken. He returned to the pavilion on zero after playing 4 balls.
This was Bartlett’s first over. On its first ball, he took India’s first wicket in the form of Shubhman Gill. Gill scored 9 runs playing 9 balls.
