The year 2024 was very bad for Team India's legendary batsman Virat Kohli. He struggled with his poor form throughout the year. Fans were hopeful that Virat would make a great start in 2025 but he lost his wicket in the new year also due to old weakness. In the last Test being played in Sydney, Virat was out on a ball going outside the off stump and with this he also created a shameful record. This innings of Virat has become the longest innings without a boundary in his Test career.

Virat made a shameful record in Sydney

Kohli scored only 17 runs facing 69 balls in the Sydney Test. In 69 balls, Virat neither hit any four nor any six came from his bat. This inning proved to be the longest inning of his Test career without any boundary. Earlier, Virat had not hit any boundary while playing 48 balls against England in the year 2021. Then Virat had scored only 11 runs.

Years have changed, but Virat's weakness is not

In the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli has been out continuously on balls going outside the off stump. Virat has been out like this in seven out of eight innings on this tour so far. A similar scene was seen in the Sydney Test also. Scott Boland's outgoing ball took the edge of Virat's bat and fell into the hands of debutant Beau Webster and Virat flopped in his first innings of the year. They could not correct the mistakes they made in 2024 even in 2025.

Kohli is failing miserably in the series

This Australian tour was not good at all for Virat. After flopping in the first innings, he scored an unbeaten century in the second innings. But after this, Virat Kohli disappointed the fans one after the other in Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne. This sequence was not broken in Sydney also. In the current series, Virat has been able to score only 184 runs in 9 innings of five matches. Apart from one century, not even a half century came from his bat.
