Virat Kohli’s unusual dismissal in the Australia vs India 2nd Test in Adelaide has raised concerns over his current form. This year has been challenging for him. Virat scored a brilliant century (100* off 143) in the Perth Test, he scored his last Test half-century (70) against New Zealand in October 2024 in the first Test of the home series. But apart from these knocks, he has endured a disappointing season so far.

In the Perth Test, Virat Kohli scored a century after a long time. After this, the fans were hopeful that Kohli would continue his form in Adelaide also, but he proved to be a flop in front of the pink ball. Virat Kohli had scored only 7 and 11 runs in the first and second innings of the Adelaide Test respectively.

Notably, Virat Kohli's figures at the Adelaide Oval ground are quite impressive, but this time Virat's bat remained quiet in Adelaide. Kohli scored only 18 runs in both the innings of this match, which is Kohli's lowest score in a Test match in Australia in the last 12 years. That means he had scored more than 18 runs in every test match played in Australia in the last 12 years. Due to this poor performance, Kohli's average in Test cricket has also declined. Virat's average in Tests is now 47.72. Before this match, his average was 48.13.

To evaluate King Kohli's performance, it’s important to examine Virat Kohli's scores in the last 10 Test innings and analyze what the statistics reveal.

Virat Kohl's scores | Last 10 innings

In the last 10 innings, Virat Kohli's scores have been 7, 11, 5, 100*, 4, 1, 1, 17, 0, and 70. Virat is under pressure to prove once again that he is India’s top batter across all formats. He needs to convert his starts into substantial knocks to improve his low Test average this year.
