Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has commented on Virat Kohli’s dismissal in the second innings of the second Test against the Australian national cricket team. He said that the right hand has serious technical defects and there is no way to eliminate them.
Virat Kohli, who scored a terrific century in the first Test in Perth, failed in both the innings of the ongoing Adelaide match. In both the innings, the top batsman was clueless as the Australian pacers were all over him and made life tough for him. It seemed only a matter of time for him to strike in the second essay.

While it was Mikel Stark who got the better of him in the first round, it was Scott Boland who removed him in the second term. The right-arm pacer was consistently out in the channel and troubled Kohli throughout his stay in the second innings.
Kohli eventually got a delivery from Scott Boland that was caught by the keeper Alex Carey. A brilliant batsman completely tested in his spell by the fast bowler and then finally returned at the hut for 11 runs off 21 balls. He managed just 7 runs in the first innings.
