He is mesmerising him. He is mesmerising that bat to follow the ball and that could well be the last time that we see Virat Kohli on Australian soil and in Test match cricket,\u201d Waugh said on Fox Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Waugh\u2019s comments do have weight behind it as across five innings, Kohli has faced 68 balls from Boland, managing just 28 runs with four dismissals. His struggle is evident, with a false shot percentage of 35.2%.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Day two of the fifth Test may have been the last time Kohli played a Test match in Australia and was certainly left disappointed after falling in the same manner. Australia coach Andrew McDonald was asked about the team\u2019s strategy to face the all-time great.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s never easy to get Virat out. I\u2019d give full credit the bowlers and the execution of the plan. It\u2019s one thing to have a plan, but then to be able to execute that the way that we have to Virat put him under immense pressure. And look, he\u2019s tried some things. He\u2019s walked out of his crease. He\u2019s tried different tactics as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Day two of the fifth Test may have been the last time Kohli played a Test match in Australia and was certainly left disappointed after falling in the same manner.
