Virat Kohli looked determined for a big score in the World Test Championship final when he ended day 2 unbeaten on 44, but the Indian skipper fell pray to Kyle Jamieson early on day 3 without adding any run.

It proved as to why the New Zealander refused to bowl at the Indian skipper with the Dukes ball during the IPL. Interestingly, Jamieson was playing his first IPL after being bought by RCB this year and was carrying a couple of Dukes balls with him. Looking to prepare for the WTC final, Kohli asked Jamieson to bowl at him with the Dukes ball but the fast bowler didn't fall for that trick.

Clearly, it worked as the tall pacer got the better of Indian skipper as Virat's 10th anniversary in Tests didn't turn out as he would have liked it to.
