Virat Kohli's off-form continues as he got out at 5 playing 12 balls on Day 1 of the first Test at Perth. Virat Kohli looked in good rhythm, stealing runs, and rotating strike with KL Rahul, unless Josh Hazlewood came and edged him to Usman Khwaja in the first slip. Virat Kohli, like his usual comeback days, was a bit ahead of the crease, playing fully on his front foot. However, Hazlewood steams in from over the stumps and bashes the hard length around off. Landing, it takes off from the deck and surprises Kohli. The extra bounce baffled Kohli as he hopped on his back foot, trying to swing away the bat from the line of the ball, but got a thick edge, gifting his wicket to the slip. The ball that looked to fly away got hold as Khwaja jumped a little up, finishing the rest.
