Virat Kohli chasing a delivery outside off stump and getting out, the same old story continues for the India star. The first day of India's fifth and final Test was no exception as Kohli came out to bat at his usual number 4 position, left some deliveries well but eventually perished while chasing a delivery well outside off stump. He edged Scott Boland's back of a length delivery at slips to depart for 17 off 69 balls. Trying to figure out what is wrong with the batting great, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan drew his comparison with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

"Virat doesn't play those shots (square cut and upper cut). It's not that he has never played such shots but he is reluctant to do it. This is the reason, he goes to drive and defend the ball on the line of the 6th or 7th stump, and continuosly gets the outside edge."
