Former Indian pacer Zaheer Khan expressed surprise at Virat Kohli falling for a second consecutive duck in the ongoing second ODI against Australia in Adelaide on October 23. With massive anticipation surrounding his return to Indian colors after over six months, the 36-year-old has been shockingly poor in the first two matches against the Aussies.Kohli fell for an eight-ball duck in the series opener at Perth and was trapped LBW for a four-ball naught in the ongoing Adelaide encounter. It was the first time the veteran batter recorded back-to-back ducks in his stellar ODI career.Reacting to Virat Kohli's surprisingly dismal returns after two innings in Australia, Zaheer told Cricbuzz (15:44):"Sometimes you go through these kind of phases. Two games, two ducks, no one will be able to believe that a player of Virat's calibre has had two failures in succession. But it stops there. It's something I would not look too much into. It's not like they ( RoKo) are on trial. And that's the way it should be as these two have achieved enough. He will not be happy with the last two games but it's just about brushing this aside and starting things afresh."It was also Kohli's 40th duck in international cricket across formats, which is joint-second all-time for an Indian cricketer."Classic example of adapting to the situation and the team's needs" - Zaheer Khan on Rohit SharmaZaheer Khan praised former skipper Rohit Sharma for adapting to the situation of the game and producing a crucial innings in the second ODI against Australia. Like Kohli, Rohit endured a forgettable outing with the bat in the series opener on his return to Indian colors, with a 14-ball eight.However, the veteran right-hander scored a valuable 97-ball 73 in the ongoing Adelaide contest to bail India out of trouble."Today's innings was a classic example of adapting to the situation and the team's needs. Your natural instinct is to look to take the game on, especially in the first powerplay. But today it wasn't that kind of day. It wasn't that he wasn't trying but he understood that the pitch had enough to offer for the bowlers," said Zaheer (via the aforementioned source).Zaheer added:"He saw that phase through and it looked like he was changing gears as he moved along. The shot was on but it was just one of those days. Even Mitchell Starc's reaction suggested that he didn't deserve that wicket with that delivery."Rohit top-scored for India, helping them post a competitive total of 264/9 in 50 overs.
