After a lengthy absence, star Indian batsman Virat Kohli is poised to play a match at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley stadium, formerly known as the Feroz Shah Kotla. Since an ODI he participated in there in March 2019, this will be Kohli’s first international match in Delhi. When it comes to his most recent appearance in a Test match in the state, it was in December 2017—more than five years ago. When Kohli returned to his hometown, he made time to drive to the stadium.
After a long time, a long drive brought us to the Delhi stadium. Such a nostalgic sensation,” Kohli commented beside a photo of himself from the region.
Due to Todd Murphy‘s harsh dismissal of him in Nagpur’s first Test match between India and Australia, Virat Kohli was unable to record a significant offensive contribution. The former India captain was caught down the leg side by wicketkeeper Alex Carey with the score at 12 as a result of the debuting Australian spinner’s first ball after lunch.
It was unfortunate that Kohli was dismissed because he chased after the errant delivery and managed to catch the ball even though it initially fell out of Carey’s gloves.
India easily defeated the opposition by an innings and 132 runs.
In the second game against Australia, which will take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, Kohli will try to get back on track with his much anticipated Test century. The game begins on February 17.
