Tue Dec 17 02:28:50 UTC 2024: ## Kohli’s Test Average Dips Below Eight-Year Low Following Poor Performance
**Perth, Australia (December 17, 2024) –** Virat Kohli’s recent struggles have pushed his Test batting average below its lowest point in eight years. Following a century in the Perth Test, Kohli’s subsequent scores of 7, 11, and 3 have dragged his average down to 47.49. This marks his lowest average since 2016.
Former captain Sunil Gavaskar criticized Kohli’s dismissal in one of the innings, questioning the shot selection. Gavaskar stated, “He was extremely disappointing with a poor shot. One can understand if the ball hit the fourth stump, but why play a ball hitting the seventh or eighth stump?” Kohli’s poor form is a significant concern for the Indian team.
