Virat Kohli Smashed: Team India is having a tough time before the Australia tour as they drop the three-match Test series to New Zealand. One more match to play, and the Balckcaps have already won the series, a historic feat for the former World Test Championship title holder. Virat Kohli could not justify his name in the series so far. After the first Test match in Bengaluru, Virat was unable to spark sparks of confidence. He scored 1 and 17 in the first and second innings, respectively, in the second match, which was held in Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.

Virat clearly caught frustrated after his dismissal. He smashed his bat in a blue water box during his way to the dressing room. That moment caught on camera and is now spreading across the social media platforms.

After playing a Test match against South Africa in January this year, Virat Kohli stayed away from this format for about 8 months. He also missed the Test series against the England team that came to play the Test series on India tour due to personal reasons. Now when he was expected to perform better in the New Zealand series, his bat did not run in the first two matches, except for an innings of 70 runs. Since July 2023, he has not seen any Test century with the bat.

Rohit Sharma-led team India suffered a 113-run defeat against the Tom Latham-led side, which led to the loss of a Test series at home in 12 years. India is a hot favorite to reach the WTC 2025 final. India previously qualified for the final match two times but had no luck in grabbing the trophy.
