The first test match of the year and a major accident with Virat Kohli was averted. In the first session of the first day of the Sydney Test, something was going to happen to Virat Kohli which would break the hearts of his fans. Actually, Virat Kohli escaped getting out on a golden duck in the Sydney Test.

Virat Kohli stepped on the crease after the wicket of Jaiswal. In front of him was Scott Boland, who troubles Virat a lot. Same thing happened this time also. Virat Kohli was saved from getting out on the first ball on Boland's excellent good length ball. The ball had taken the edge of Virat's bat, it went to slip, Steve Smith caught it and started celebrating but Virat was still not out.

Virat got luck

Virat Kohli got luck in Sydney. Actually, Steve Smith caught the ball but in the second attempt it touched the ground a little. Third umpire Joe Wilson took a lot of time to take the decision and in the end the result came in favor of Virat.

Virat Kohli escaped being out on a golden duck in the series. Similarly, his performance has been very poor, now if he had got out on the first ball, it would have been like rubbing salt on the wounds.

Same shot once again

Team India's bad start

Team India had a bad start in the Sydney Test. India lost the first wicket in the form of KL Rahul who became the victim of Starc in the fifth over. Rahul played an inning of 4 runs. After this, Boland gave the second and biggest blow to Team India.

This right-arm pacer once again gave success to Australia in his very first over. Boland dismissed Jaiswal on a personal score of 10 runs. His catch was caught in the slip by Beau Webster who has made his debut in the Sydney Test.
