Out of Form? Virat Kohli Fans Slam Critics as Indian Batter Continues to Dominate in ODIs

Virat Kohli, India’s former captain, played a handy knock of 51 during the first ODI match against South Africa where the visitors lost by 31 runs on Wednesday. Chasing 297, opener Shikhar Dhawan (79) and Kohli stitched a healthy partnership taking India from 46/1 to 138/1 before Dhawan departed. Later Kohli also mistimed Tabraiz Shamsi and was caught. The match turned when Rishabh Pant was stumped off Phehlukwayo and Ngidi had Venkatesh Iyer caught in the deep. With Ravichandran Ashwin, who was playing his first ODI since 2017, also losing his stumps to Phehlukwayo, India’s hopes of pulling off a miracle evaporated quickly. India were reduced to 199/7, losing 7 wickets for 76. Shardul Thakur did get a half-century towards the end, but it was in vain.
