Although Virat Kohli failed again in a similar manner, he was attentive during his stay and focused on everything. Amidst all the intense action, he shared a joyful moment with on-field umpire Sharfuddoula Saikat when the umpire was searching for the ball.
While the player was on target to throw, Sharfuddoula looked around and had no idea where the ball was. However, Kohli was attentive to everything and immediately reminded the umpire that he had the ball in his pocket.
“Where is the ball? You have the ball in your pocket,” Kohli exclaimed, and the two laughed at this cheeky moment. Even the on-air commentator enjoyed the moment and praised Kohli for his vigilance in the middle.

The game moved forward instantly, but this incident was caught on camera and went viral on social media platforms. Something always happens when Kohli is in the middle, and this time his conversation with the umpire stole the show, providing a fun moment amidst the tough cricket in the middle.
Virat Kohli departed with a score of 17 in the first innings of the Sydney Test
Virat Kohli again showed immense patience and continued to work up to 68 deliveries before finally losing his cool and taking one straight to the slips. He left too many balls outside the crease, but his patience ran out due to the relentless bowling of the Australian quicks, and it was also very difficult to bat on the plate.
Virat doesn’t really play cutter shots, which means his scoring rate goes down once he decides to leave everything outside the baseline. Therefore, running out of patience is natural once the pressure starts to build.
It also happened early in the series, and the trend will continue unless he decides to open up more range in the offside region. You will be in control, but will exit after a certain phase, unless the track is completely flat.
The deck in Sydney hardly had anything for the batsmen, but Kohli still has an innings to end the series on top. There may be some big decisions coming if he falters in the later innings of this tour.
