Virat Kohli was a complete flop on the Sri Lanka tour. He had come to play ODI series in Sri Lanka after 7 years, where his record is quite impressive. But this time his bat did not work at all. During the three-match ODI series, something happened with Virat which had never happened before in his ODI career. Like the first and second ODI, in the third ODI too, he could not contribute much with his bat for the team.

This is the first time such an accident has happened in Virat's career

Virat Kohli lost his wicket after scoring 20 runs off 18 balls in the last match of the ODI series. He was out LBW by Dunith Velalage. The surprising thing is that he was out LBW in the first two matches of this series as well. With this, this is the first time in his ODI career that Virat Kohli has been out LBW on the ball of spinners in three consecutive matches. This had never happened in his ODI career before this.

Worst performance ever against Sri Lanka

Virat Kohli scored 58 runs in this series at an average of just 19.33. During this, his biggest innings was of 24 runs. He could hit only 8 fours in this series and not a single six was seen from his bat. This is Virat Kohli's worst average in 7 ODI series against Sri Lanka. Before this, he had never scored runs at an average of 30 runs in any ODI series against Sri Lanka. He scored runs at 31.80 in his ODI debut series against Sri Lanka. After this, he scored runs at an average of more than 60 every time. But this time he could not repeat his good game.

Only 1 half-century in the year 2024

Virat Kohli has scored only 296 runs in 15 innings for India this year. During this, his average has been 19.73, which includes 1 half-century. Virat Kohli played this half-century in the final match of T20 World Cup 2024.
