Virat Kohli getting dismissed to debutants is quite hereditary as he is not the only Indian to frequently lose his wicket to debutants and several Indian stalwarts have been dismissed more often.

Virat Kohli falls to Todd Murphy, adds to long list of dismissals against debutants

Virat Kohli has been a bunny of sorts, not against a specific bowler, but against debutants — being dismissed 19 times in 490 international games after getting out to Todd Murphy on Day 2 of the first Test in Nagpur. Kohli was dismissed for 12 in what proved to be an unlucky dismissal as he edge the ball down the leg side trying to nudge it fine. Wicket-keeper Alex Carey held on to the catch after juggling a bit as Murphy bagged one of the most-prized wickets on his debut.

However, Kohli getting dismissed to debutants is quite hereditary as he is not the only Indian to frequently lose his wicket to debutants and several Indian stalwarts have been dismissed more often. While legendary Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed 35 times (664 matches) in his career, Mohammed Azharuddin lost his wicket 23 times (433 matches) to debutants. Current Head Coach Rahul Dravid (509 matches) and his compatriot VVS Laxman (220 matches) have both been dismissed on 20 occasions. Kohli’s poor run in Tests continued as he once again got out quickly. The star Indian batter has not hit a century in Test since 2019 and his last half century as well came 11 innings back — 79 against South Africa in January 2022.
