Team India's ace batsman Virat Kohli had another disappointing outing in the second innings of the final Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Virat Kohli perished early again as he brought out an off-stump delivery from Scott Boland to the Test match bowlers.
The Jasprit Bumrah-led team bowled out Australia for 181 in the first innings on Saturday, January 4. Debutant Beau Webster scored his maiden Test half-century to rescue the home side. The visitors started their second innings on a positive note but lost quick wickets allowing Australia to make a comeback.

The dismissal came in the 14th over of India's second innings. Scott Boland bowled a delivery outside the off-stump similar to the one that dismissed Virat Kohli in the first innings. Kohli hit it with hard hands despite opting to leave the ball. Steve Smith completed a simple catch at second slip.
The 36-year-old striker left frustrated, visibly upset by the dismissal. Kohli was dismissed for 6 runs off 12 balls, leaving India at 59/3 in the second innings. Also, Anushka Sharma sitting in the stands looked dejected.
