 Virat Kohli Test form in 2024

Kohli has played in two Tests this year so far, with the first one coming back in January against South Africa. Since then, this was his first start for India in Tests this year, which partly explains his inconsistency with the bat.
 
Kohli has been coming in at number 4 in Tests for India, with Shubman Gill taking the number 3 spot. Kohli missed out on a fine knock last time as a wrong LBW decision wasn’t reviewed by him in the 2nd innings, which eventually saw him walking back to the pavilion on the day.
