Virat Kohli was expected to perform well in the crucial match against Australia in the T20 World Cup 2024. It was expected that this batsman would return to form and the Kangaroo bowlers would be thrashed fiercely but this did not happen. Virat Kohli could not even open the account. Virat played 5 balls and his score was 0. Virat Kohli lost his wicket in the second over to Josh Hazlewood. While trying to pull Hazlewood's ball, Virat got caught by Tim David. With this, Virat saw such a bad day for the first time in his career.

Virat Kohli flopped

Virat Kohli has been out on 0 for the second time in this tournament. For the first time in his career, Virat Kohli has been out on 0 twice in any ICC tournament. The big thing is that Virat has failed to open his account in ICC tournaments only 3 times, out of which two times have come in this tournament itself.

The opening is not working

Virat Kohli has always performed well at number 3 in white ball cricket. But this time a decision was taken to make him open and this is not going in Virat's favor. Virat Kohli has not been able to touch the double digit mark in 4 out of 6 innings in this tournament. Not a single half-century has come from his bat. His best score is 37 runs against Bangladesh. Virat Kohli has been able to score only 66 runs at an average of 11 and the big thing is that his strike rate has also been 100.

This unwanted record was made in Virat's name

Virat Kohli has also become the Indian opening batsman with the lowest average in the T20 World Cup. Virat's average is currently 11. Earlier this record was in the name of Gautam Gambhir who was able to score runs at an average of just 16 in the first five innings in 2012.
