Occasions where Virat Kohli got out in the 90s in ODIs

Virat Kohli brought an end to his string of low scores against Australia across formats with a 92-run knock in the testing conditions more because of the weather at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata in the 2nd ODI game.

The India skipper recorded only his 6th ODI score in the 90s but has 30 centuries at the same time in this format.
