New Delhi. India have suffered defeat in both Tests against New Zealand so far. Virat Kohli was cheap in both innings of the second Test. This series didn’t do him any good. Meanwhile, his friend, former Royal Challengers Bangalore cricketer Dinesh Karthik, advised him that Virat should return to domestic cricket.
Dinesh Karthik said, “It wasn’t easy for Virat Kohli, this series wasn’t good for him.” He disappointed in three out of four innings. Obviously the spinners have given him trouble here and I think he knows very well what needs to be done to play well. He is a player who has reached the level of a superstar, so you have to face challenges and here is another challenge.

Karthik further said, “India likes to play on spin-friendly pitches. What is their game plan?’ We all know what Virat is capable of. This series wasn’t for him. As the fans say. Currently, Virat Kohli’s Test record against spin in the last 2-3 years is not very good. “He should probably play domestic cricket.”
We tell you that Virat Kohli too had just one good innings to his credit. In the last four innings he scored 0, 70, 1, 17 runs. He scored 70 runs in the second innings against New Zealand. Previously, he had scored 17 runs in the first innings of the first Test against Bangladesh and 6 runs in the second innings. After that, 47 runs were scored in the first innings of the second game and 29 runs were scored in the second innings.
