Kohli in poor form ahead of Ranji game

Kohli had a torrid 2024 across formats, but struggled particularly in the red-ball format, where he could only score a solitary century, which came up against Australia in Perth.

He couldn't do much in the New Zealand Tests and his technique outside the off stump was exposed by the Aussie bowlers.

As a result, the India great spent some time with former batting coach, Sanjay Bangar and worked on his back-foot game and range of shots, something which was missing in the Australia series.
