Sat Dec 07 12:51:25 UTC 2024: ## Kohli’s Struggles Continue: Early Dismissal in Adelaide Test
**Adelaide, Australia:** India’s star batsman Virat Kohli fell for a paltry 7 runs in the first innings of the second Test against Australia in Adelaide on Friday. The pink-ball Test saw India win the toss and elect to bat first, but were bowled out for 180 runs. Nitish Reddy top-scored for India with 42. Mitchell Starc was the pick of the Australian bowlers, taking 6 wickets.
Kohli’s dismissal mirrored a similar fate in the previous Perth Test, where he was undone by a short-length delivery. This time, it was Mitchell Starc who trapped him with a short ball, resulting in a caught-and-bowled dismissal. The low score has sparked renewed debate amongst fans regarding Kohli’s recent batting form, which has seen him struggle to convert starts into substantial scores. His dismissal for 7 runs, coming after a century in Perth, highlights his inconsistency. The fans on social media expressed their disappointment and questioned his batting technique. The match continues.
