Virat Kohli Nervous Nineties: Virat Kohli was out after scoring 93 runs in Vadodara ODI on Sunday. Kohli was on his way to his 54th ODI century when he tried to play a big shot against New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson but was caught at mid-off. After his dismissal, there was silence at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. No one expected that he would get out like this so close to the century.

The Indian team was chasing the target of 301 runs and had scored 234 runs in 39 overs. India needed 67 runs from 66 balls with 8 wickets in hand. Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were well established at the crease. It seemed that Kohli would complete his century, but he became a victim of the nervous nineties. He faced 91 balls in his innings and hit 8 fours and 1 six.

The 8th time the ‘nervous 90s’ succumb to

This is the eighth time that Virat Kohli has been out in the nervous nineties in his ODI career. Earlier, he had been out between 90 and 99 runs six times, while he remained unbeaten on 96 runs against Bangladesh in the 2017 Champions Trophy semi-final.

When and against whom were the hunts carried out?

This is the eighth time he has been out in the nervous nineties after being out for 93 in Vadodara. He is now joint third with Jacques Kallis for the most number of dismissals in the Nervous Nineties in One Day International cricket.

Sachin out 18 times between 90-100

Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar was a victim of nervous nineties the maximum number of 18 times in ODI. After him, the names of Kane Williamson, Grant Flower, Nathan Astle and Arvind D’Silva are included in this list. All these players have been out between 90 and 99 9 times each. If this happens to Kohli twice more, he will become the player who is the biggest victim of the nervous nineties after Sachin.
