Kohli had a bad time at Wankhede stadium Sold out in the first inning on day 1 and the second time he was trying to change things. India had started the day looking to complete their innings on New Zealand and they did just that as Ravindra Jadeja completed his 10-wicket haul in the match. India needed 147 runs to win the match and the start was far from ideal.

India would lose Rohit Sharma early when he went for a rash shot and Shubman Gill soon followed him to the pavilion. Kohli looked timid and was slowly trying to get back on track but Ajaz Patel had other ideas.

The New Zealand batsman’s magnificent delivery would force Kohli to slip the ball. Kohli was dismissed for 18 and India would lose 2 more wickets and find themselves struggling to save the game now.
