Josh Hazlewood’s 10-ball spell to Virat Kohli was a masterclass in executing a plan. Here’s how it unfolded.
Indian superstar Virat Kohli tapped his bat twice on the pitch at Perth Stadium and looked up to see Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood steaming in for the 13th over of this summer’s Border-Gavaskar trophy.
What ensued was a bowling masterclass from Hazlewood, who needed just 10 balls to remove the king of Indian cricket and inflict an early psychological blow on the most influential batsman in the visiting change room. Hazlewood has had moderate success against Kohli in Tests, having bowled to him in 11 matches since 2014. It took Hazlewood just four balls to remove Kohli in the Brisbane Test of 2014 when they first locked horns.
