Virat Kohli Record In Lords:Virat Kohli has rained down centuries and half-centuries across the globe, yet his bat has remained quiet at Lord's Cricket Ground. It is at this very venue that India is set to play the final match of the ODI series against England.
strong>Virat Kohli's Record at Lord'sThe final match of the ODI series between India and England is scheduled to be played on July 19 at the historic Lord's Cricket Ground. The series is currently level at 1-1, and both teams will take the field aiming to clinch the trophy.
While all eyes will be on Indian star batsman Virat Kohli during this high-stakes clash, the venue poses a significant challenge for 'King Kohli'.
Virat Kohli's record at Lord's Cricket Ground has been quite poor—a fact sufficient to make Indian fans anxious ahead of this decisive match.
Virat's Poor Record at Lord's
Virat Kohli, who has amassed centuries and half-centuries across the globe, has consistently struggled with the bat at the historic Lord's ground. His ODI statistics at this venue are nothing short of a nightmare.
Kohli has played a total of nine ODI innings at Lord's so far. Surprisingly, he has not scored a single half-century in these innings. His batting average at the venue stands at 22.66, which is significantly lower than his career standards.
In the three ODI matches he has played at Lord's, he has scored just 77 runs at an average of 25.66, with a highest score of 45.
Additionally, in three Test matches at Lord's, he has scored 122 runs at an average of 21.16. Even in Tests, his highest score at the venue is just 42, and he has also been dismissed for a duck once.
The only venue of its kind in Kohli's career
Lord's Cricket Ground has become the only venue in Virat Kohli's international career where he has played more than three innings without once crossing the 50-run mark.
There is no other ground in the world where Kohli has played as many matches without recording a single half-century. The match scheduled for Sunday will not only decide the series but also offers India a chance to end a 22-year-old drought.
Therefore, if Team India is to win the series on English soil, Virat Kohli must put this poor record behind him and play a match-winning innings.
