Virat Kohli's Outside Off Demons Haunt Star Again. Stats Pinpoint Concerning Trend

India talisman batter Virat Kohli who had delivered top performances in the past has been going through a rough patch currently at the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Kohli holds many elusive landmarks which are hard to break but his current poor form has pushed him under the scanners. Earlier, the 36-year-old had pulled Team India on his shoulders and achieved many accolades in Test cricket. However, people have started to criticize him for his consecutive poor knocks in Tests.

As it stands, Australia pacer Scott Boland, who was added to the BGT squad mid-series, has become Kohli's worst nightmare.

The 36-year-old, who's often called the greatest cricketer of all time started the ongoing BGT series on a good note, and the fans hoped the batter will maintain consistency in the series. However, Kohli failed his fans with a poor show with the bat.

In the Perth Test of the BGT 2024-25, Kohli played an unbeaten 100-run knock from 143 balls at a strike rate of 69.93 during India's second inning, which helped the tourist clinch a massive 295-run victory over the mighty Aussies.

Kohli was full of confidence as he stepped onto the crease at the Adelaide Oval following his century in Perth. However, it didn't take time for Kohli to break Indian fans' hearts, as he was dismissed for just 7 runs from 8 balls at a strike rate of 87.50 by Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc in the first inning.

Later in the second inning at Adelaide Oval, the Indian batter could score only 11 runs from 21 balls before he succumbed against Scott Boland. Australia made a massive comeback in the game as the hosts clinched a massive 10-wicket victory over India. After the second Test, Australia levelled the series 1-1 to India.
