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.
Apart from Williamson's 89-run knock, Ross Taylor scored 44 runs to help New Zealand's cause.
Ross Taylor, playing his 100th Test for New Zealand, took the attack to the Indian bowlers right from the word go and kept on collecting runs at brisk pace.
The right-arm Kiwi pacer dismissed Cheteshwar Pujara (11) – his first Test wicket, before claiming the wicket of India skipper Virat Kohli (2) and Hanuma Vihari (7).
It is to note that Saha kept wickets for India in the entire home Test season in 2019 but he was replaced by Rishabh Pant in the opening Test against New Zealand.
Kohli, who came into bat after Pujara’s dismissal, could play just six deliveries before poking a swinging delivery on the fifth stump line, managing an edge to Ross Taylor at slip.
