In the first game of the series in Hyderabad, a delivery that held its line defeated Kohli. The former skipper has recently struggled with his ability to judge the length early and modify his feet appropriately.

He had a difficult time against Bangladesh in December 2022, which contrasts with the home season during which he has been steadily adding runs. Throughout the series’ ODIs and Tests, Taijul Islam and Shakib Al Hasan both dismissed Kohli.

“Virat Kohli must be disappointed by his dismissals in this series. He has been struggling to play leg-spin for quite a while now whether it be Adil Rashid or Adam Zampa, and now he has gone out to left-arm spin of Mitchell Santner two matches in a row,” Wasim Jaffer said.

In the first two games of this series, Kohli has scored 19 runs. He was in excellent form going into the New Zealand ODI series after smashing two hundred in the three-match series against Sri Lanka.

Jaffer said that Considering that their next assignment is the vital Border-Gavaskar Trophy match against Australia, it is imperative that Kohli finds his groove in the forthcoming ODI.

“I expect Kohli to make a good comeback in the third ODI keeping the big picture in mind. Australia are touring soon and they have a solid bowling unit with Nathan Lyon also there. So, the expectation is always there from him to score runs and do well,” Wasim Jaffer added.
