Kohli scored just 16 runs in the second ODI at the Lord's.
Despite all the talks of form going around him, former Indian skipper Virat Kohli has managed to keep himself in a joyous mood. The right-hander has been going through a dry spell with the bat for a long time for the period.
Having scored his last international ton in 2019, Kohli’s struggle for runs has become dire, to say the least of late, as the half-centuries have also dried up.
After his poor outings in the one-off Test and T20I series, the 33-year-old yet again was dismissed for a low score in the second ODI, which is considered his strongest format.
Kohli, who used to make headlines almost every day with his heroics, is now receiving a lot of flak and many have even started to question his place in the Indian side. He missed the first ODI due to a groin injury and returned for the second game but the same story continued as he perished after a good start.

Kohli smashed three wonderful boundaries to raise the excitement but he chased a good length delivery wide of off-stump from David Willey and was out for 16 runs in 25 balls.
With all the talks around him and series decider on the cards, Kohli has managed to keep himself in a good frame of mind as he was seen dancing during the practice session and making a hilarious gesture at the camera.
Here’s the video:
The series decider will take place in Manchester on Sunday (17th July). Kohli has been rested from the upcoming ODI and T20I series against West Indies, beginning July 22.
