Virat kohli third innings in Chennai was as good a chance as any for Virat Kohli to get some runs behind himself heading into the Test season. Number three Shubman Gill and number five Rishabh Pant both brought up centuries, but number four sandwiched between them fell flat, dismissed for 17, not reviewing an LBW decision despite having inside-edged the ball. Marking his red-ball return after skipping the home series against England earlier this year, Kohli was on the cards for a big return match, but disappointed in both innings. He fell prey to the old demons of wafting at a ball wide outside off-stump in the first innings, and was once again exposed to his struggles against right-arm orthodox spin in the second.
