After a scintillating fifty in the first ODI against New Zealand, expectations were high from Virat Kohli, but the champion batter had a three-game streak of low scores as he ended his New Zealand tour on a disappointing note.

India’s number 3 was dismissed for a duck in the previous game, and he wanted to make up for it with a big score in the series finale on Sunday. However, he played a rash shot and was caught behind by the keeper, as a frustrated Kohli walked back to the pavilion.

Kohli's ultra-aggressive approach fails to deliver

In the last year, the former Indian skipper has adopted an ultra-aggressive approach in ODI games. While it has worked on most occasions, it failed to pay dividends on Sunday as Matthew Fisher had the last laugh.

India’s number 3 batter looked tentative when he first came to the crease, and he was itching to get going. Fisher bowled a short and wide delivery, and the batter could have easily avoided it.
