The Indian batter scored 12 runs in the two T20Is he played against the home side on the ongoing tour of England. He also failed to convert a good start into a big score in the 2nd ODI and was dismissed on 16. In the third and final ODI of the series, he just managed to score 17 runs off 22 balls. After failing in the third, a Sri Lankan sports journalist criticized Virat Kohli and called him overrated which didn&#8217;t go down well with the fans of the Indian batsman.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;79 inns without an International century for Virat Kohli, last Int&#8217;l century was against Bangladesh without Shakib &amp; Mustafizur, in India on 23rd November 2019.
