Virat Kohli could not play big innings

Virat Kohli opened his account with a four in the match played with New Zealand in Wellington. It seemed as if they were starting from where they had left off in the previous match. Jacob Duffy's ball pitched just outside the off stump, whose length tempted Kohli to play his signature drive, but the ball came to a halt on the pitch and Kohli played the shot too early. The ball bounced in the air and went straight into the hands of Will Young standing at cover-point.

Rohit was indicating that the previous ball had not come as expected, and this time Virat was in a hurry to play the shot. New Zealand's strategy was to keep the ball outside the off-stump for Kohli, because they knew that Kohli becomes vulnerable there when the ball is in motion and they were successful in this plan. In this way Kohli was out after playing an inning of 7 runs in 7 balls. He hit one four in his innings.
