‘Shameless dismissal on nothing ball’- Fans can’t stop criticizing Virat Kohli after another failure in Test Cricket

Kohli showed great intent after he came onto the crease on Day 2 of the first Test. He played two great shots for four before Lunch break and reached 12 off 25 balls. However, on his very first ball after Lunch, debutant Toddy Murphy accounted for his wicket on a ball which he too wouldn’t really be proud.

The ball was going down the leg side but Virat Kohli wanted to work that fine for four. As it turned out, he only got a fine edge and Alex Carey showed his reflexes to great effect to pluck a difficult catch.

It was Murphy’s fourth wicket and it left Virat Kohli in complete disbelief. Virat Kohli hasn’t made a good amount of runs in Test Cricket, lately, and it was an opportunity for him to change his fortunes.

Kohli looked good during his stay at the crease but was unlucky to get out on bad delivery. Here’s how fans reacted to Kohli’s knock:

Earlier, Murphy had picked three more wickets. He dismissed KL Rahul on day 1 before claiming the wickets of R Ashwin and Cheteshwar Pujara on day 2.

At the time of writing, India have lost 5 wickets for 226 runs in 80 overs and Todd Murphy has managed pick four wickets out of them. Rohit Sharma is still on the crease and has been superb so far.

The Indian captain notched his 9th Test ton and is currently unbeaten at the crease on 118 off 207 deliveries, including 15 fours and 2 sixes. Ravindra Jadeja is giving him great support, at the other end, having managed to score 34 runs in 82 balls.

At the time of writing, India have scored 226 runs for the loss of 5 wickets and have registered a lead of 49 runs.
