India are currently taking on New Zealand in the final Test of the three-match series at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In this must-win game where India need a victory to avoid a series whitewash, fans expected Virat Kohli to finally return to form and perform well with the bat. However, his torrid run of form continued as he was out for just 4 runs. In fact, the way he was dismissed sent a shockwave amongst fans, and even former India head coach Ravi Shastri was left disappointed.
Virat Kohli Falls To Unwanted Run OutWhen Virat Kohli came out to bat, India had just lost two quick wickets in the final moments of the day's play in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal and nightwatchman Mohammed Siraj. He was run out in the most bizarre way possible. He nudged a ball straight into the hands of Matt Henry, and he ran for a single. However, the ball was too close to take a run. Henry got a direct hit, and Virat Kohli was well short of his crease.Check out how Virat Kohli got out:
