Virat Kohli is a very passionate and energetic guy: Tim Southee
On the second day of the just-concluded Test match between India and New Zealand, Kohli was seen animated on the ground giving angry send-offs to New Zealand batsmen.
On the second day of the just-concluded Test match between India and New Zealand, Kohli was seen animated on the ground giving angry send-offs to New Zealand batsmen.
They were the New Zealand bowlers who wreaked havoc throughout the series. And, the India batters, meanwhile, were poor with their performance.
Post India's 7-wicket loss to New Zealand in the Christchurch Test on Monday, Kohli lashed out at a journalist after the latter asked Kohli to comment on his on-field behaviour.
Earlier, starting the day at 90/6, the Indian lower order, unlike that of the Black Caps, failed to show any resistance. The last four batsmen could add just 34 runs as they got bowled out for 124.
Prithvi Shaw's 54 off just 64 gave India a blazing start, but as soon as he fell, the New Zealand bowlers ran down the Indian spine as skipper Virat Kohli failed yet again, disappointing with a score of 3.
In a video posted on the official BCCI Twitter handle, Nick Webb, team's strength and conditioning coach, explained the drill.
According to reports, the lanky fast bowler's ankle injury that he picked up in January during a Ranji Trophy match in Delhi has recurred, forcing him to skip the Christchurch Test. Umesh Yadav is set to replace Ishant.
Jaffer also felt that the team getting bundled out for below 200 in the first Test was not befitting of its number one rank in the longest format of the game.
Wagner feels that the bounce and pace of the wicket at Hagley Oval would trouble the Indian batsmen who are yet to adapt the conditions of New Zealand.
The coach hinted that left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel is likely to be dropped from the final XI to make way for Wagner.
