Kohli enduring worst batting run since horror 2014 England tour

Wellington, Feb 21 Indian captain Virat Kohli was dismissed cheaply for just 2 in Wellington on Friday by debutant Kyle Jamieson extending a rare lull in the batsman's stellar career. Throughout the ongoing New Zealand tour, Kohli has managed to score just a single fifty across 8 innings in all 3 international formats. Since hitting 136 vs Bangladesh in November 2019, Kohli has now failed to touch the 3-figure mark in 19 international innings on the trot, capping his worst run of form since the horrid 2014 tour to England. While judging a batsman's form on the basis of the frequency of hundreds might sound too unfair, in Kohli's case such low phases have been symptomatic of a wretched run with the bat. In his more than 11- years-old international career, there have been only 2 other phases where Kohli has failed to score a hundred in more than 19 innings. The 1st bad phase of Kohli's career spanned.
