IND vs NZ 3rd Test: Virat Kohli was run out in the 200th innings of his Test career and 600th innings of his international career. In the last match of the Test series against New Zealand, Virat Kohli hit the ball on his own foot.

Virat, who was struggling with poor form, faced 6 balls and scored 4 runs. Before the end of the day's play, a brilliant throw by Matt Henry sent him to the pavilion. What is worse is that Virat Kohli himself ran for runs. He also hit the dice on the last move but failed.
