Bumrah dominates Kohli after 2019
Jasprit Bumrah was successful in taking the wicket of Virat Kohli for the first time in his debut season i.e. 2013. But from 2014 to 2018, he was not able to send the former RCB captain back to the pavilion even once. But since 2019, Bumrah has been continuously dominating. After 2019, Kohli has faced 29 balls of Bumrah, in which he gave away 41 runs, but has also taken the wicket of Virat Kohli 4 times. After 2019, Kohli's average against Bumrah has been only 10.25. Since Kohli's bat was scoring a lot of runs this season, his getting out despite this shows that he comes under pressure against Bumrah.
