He is one of the worst performers in 2022. Here are the numbers!!
Virat Kohli, the best player on the Indian cricket team, made a mistake in the Test series against Bangladesh that just ended. Team India won the two-game series 2-0, but Kohli didn’t do anything special. For the second year in a row, Kohli couldn’t do much with the bat in the longest format and, at least in his mind, was in doubt. In the second Test, which ended on Sunday, India worked hard to win by three wickets. India was in trouble when they were trying to get to 145, but they pulled it off in the end. India was playing their last match of the year, and Kohli got scores of 24 and 1 in the match.
