Meanwhile, Australian media had claimed that Kohli has also undergone scans for an undisclosed injury. The Bengaluru player scored his last Test century against South Africa in Centurion in December 2023 and since then he has scored only 2 fifties in nine innings.
Claim- Kohli also got scanned Australian newspaper Sydney Morning Herald had claimed that star batsman Virat Kohli underwent a scan for an undisclosed injury on Thursday. However, he was not prevented from playing in the practice match and scored 15 runs before being dismissed.
On this, a source told PTI, ‘There is no concern with Virat Kohli right now.’ He has struggled to score big runs and his last Test century was against West Indies at Port of Spain in July 2023. Since then, the 36-year-old has scored just two fifties in 14 Test innings. In the last 60 innings, Kohli has averaged 31.68 with just two centuries. His average in 2024 is just 22.72 in six Tests.
