Virat Kohli's dismissal in the Mumbai ODI happens to be the sixth instance of Adam Zampa outplaying him in international cricket.

Virat Kohli needs to show respect to Adam Zampa: Steve Waugh

Former Australian cricketer Steve Waugh, who was commentating for Fox Cricket on Tuesday, blamed Virat Kohli for throwing away his wicket for 16 runs as he felt he didn’t show the leggie any respect. Zampa's Australian spin colleague Nathan Lyon is the only other bowler to have got the better of Kohli, dismissing him 7 times in just Test cricket so far. However, on the other hand, Kohli was all praises for the Australian leg-spinner and felt that Zampa had shown the most belief than any other bowler, starting from Australia's 2019 tour of India, in which they won the 5-match ODI series 3-2.

He added that throughout the game, even when he was hit for boundaries, he kept coming at the batsmen and tried to get them out, which he thought was important for a wrist-spinner. He also said that Adam Zampa's mindset was a stand out for the Aussies in the last series. Meanwhile, after having set a target of 256 for Australia, India were thrashed by 10 wickets as both the Australian openers, David Warner and Aaron Finch scored centuries to see their team home. The second ODI will be played on January 17 in Rajkot. Indian team will look to make a comeback and draw the series level while Australia will look to win the game and bag the series.
