Virat Kohli in 2022: Virat Kohli could not finish 3 years of drought in Test, only 1 half-century came out of the bat in 2022

Virat Kohli in Test Cricket 2022: Former India captain Virat Kohli ended the year 2022 with a disappointing performance. He ended a 3-year drought by scoring his first century in T20 cricket against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup 2022 in August–September. After this, he batted brilliantly in the T20 World Cup (2022). He ended the drought of centuries in ODIs by scoring a century in the last match of the ODI series against Bangladesh, but this did not happen in Test cricket. Since November 2019, the wait for a century in Test cricket with the bat of Virat Kohli continues.

Virat Kohli’s performance in the last Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka was very poor. He was dismissed after scoring 24 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, he returned to the pavilion for just 1 run. The end of the year could not be worse for a cricketer. The year 2022 was very bad for Virat Kohli in Test cricket. Only 1 half-century came out of his bat.
