Virat Kohli left his fans disappointed after he managed to score only one run in the first World Cup 2019 semi-final between India and New Zealand in Manchester on Wednesday. India were knocked out of the tournament after a
heartbreaking 18-run loss to New Zealand. It was the third consecutive occasion when Virat Kohli failed to make it count in a World Cup semi-final. During the 2011 World Cup semi-final, Virat Kohli scored only nine runs while in the
2015 World Cup semi-final, he scored one run. Soon after Virat Kohli was dismissed for one by Trent Boult on Wednesday, fans took to Twitter to vent out their frustration, and also suggested that was a “call for an emergency 911 for
Virat Kohli,” following the India skipper’s consecutive flop shows.
Kohli was the second wicket for fall after India lost their in-form batsman Rohit Sharma (1) early on the reserve day of their semi-final against New Zealand. It was also the lowest score for Kohli in the World Cup 2019.
Kohli, who hasn’t scored a century in the World Cup 2019, has registered five consecutive half-centuries in the tournament, with the high score of 82.
The 30-year-old Kohli is ninth on the highest run-scorers’ list in the World Cup 2019. He has scored 443 at an average of 55.38.
Overall, Kohli has represented India in 235 One-day Internationals (ODIs), scoring 11,285 at an average over 59. He also holds the high score of 183.
