Virat Kohli's dismal form in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy continues as the former Indian star once again fell prey to a below-average shot as India find themselves reeling on Day 3 of the 3rd Test against Australia at the Gabba on Monday, 16th December.

The 36-year-old, who scored only a solitary hundred so far in this series, has failed to cross the single-digit mark on most occasions till now.

In the ongoing Test match, it was a similar type of dismissal for the India star as he went onto chase a wide ball and then eventually nicking it off to the keeper. It was a fuller than a length delivery well outside off from Josh Hazlewood, something which should have been left alone. But Kohli had other plans as he managed to chase it well away from his body for a drive but gets an audible outside edge that was easily pouched by Aussie keeper, Alex Carey.

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) man faced a lot of flak for his poor show and many felt on X (Formerly Twitter) that the time has come for India's premium batter to retire from the longest format of the game as well.

Here's what the fans has to say.

Speaking of Day 3, it has been interrupted by rain in regular intervals. Bumrah kicked-off the day by picking up his 6th wicket of the match as the Aussies managed to put up 445 runs on the board. Many were expecting, Rohit Sharma to come up the order, back to his original opening slot but he instead kept the Indian opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul unchanged.

The visitors got off to a shaky start as they lost Yashasvi Jaiswal (4) and Shubman Gill (1) in quick succession. Kohli had to go back to the pavilion for 3 and at the time of writing this article, India were struggling at 27/3 with KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant at the crease.
