Virat Kohli faced a shocking dismissal to Mitchell Santner during the India vs. New Zealand second Test match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. 

The former Indian skipper misjudged the loopy delivery from Santner and got dismissed for just 1 off 9 balls.

Mitchell Santner’s Deceptive Delivery

Virat Kohli walked into the pitch after it was Santner himself who dismissed Shubhman Gill. Later, in the 24th over, Santner delivered a well-tossed ball on a fullish length, targeting Kohli’s middle and leg stump.

Kohli, who looked confident on the pitch, tried to swipe the ball across the line. However, the ball dipped sharply as he swung hard, and it scooted under his bat, crashing into the stumps. 

The misjudgment left Kohli visibly frustrated, and the entire stadium was stunned into silence. India, already under pressure, found themselves at 56/3 after the star batter’s departure.

Kohli Leaves, with India struggling

The first test saw him score a duck and 70 runs in two innings. The second test is undoubtedly crucial for India's qualification to the World Test Championship final. Therefore, Kohli's contribution to the team was necessary.

A rapid downfall of the top order, followed by the rapid dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Sarfaraz Khan, has left India in a vulnerable situation.
