Kohli has been dismissed by Mitchell Santner in both innings of the match.
In the ongoing second Test between India and New Zealand, Virat Kohli had another disappointing performance as he was dismissed LBW by Santner.
The incident occurred during the 30th over when Santner bowled a length ball that skidded on after pitching. It was an arm ball that slid past as Kohli attempted to tuck it away off the back foot. He was struck in front of the leg stump, and ball tracking suggested it would have clipped the leg stump. He was given out and remained out despite a review, as it was a umpire’s call on wickets hitting.
