Virat Kohli has failed to perform well in the major matches of ICC tournaments. It started with the 2015 World Cup when he was dismissed for just 1 run against Australia in the semi-finals.

It has to be seen that if Team India’s second innings comes, then Captain Kohli will be able to erase this stain.
