Virat Kohli's innings at the Adelaide Oval turned into a nightmare as he was dismissed cheaply by Mitchell Starc during India’s first innings in the ongoing Test match against Australia today (December 6). Kohli was in scintillating form after his match-winning century in Perth and it was expected from him to build on that momentum.

Kohli came in to bat when India was already under pressure as they had already lost early wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal on golden duck and KL Rahul later on. However, Virat Kohli began with a positive approach, hitting a boundary off the first few balls he faced,

The star player was dismissed in the 21st over when Mitchell Starc bowled a back of length delivery that angled across the right-hander. It clearly seemed that Kohli was in two minds as  leaned forward and attempted to push at the delivery, but misjudged the bounce. The ball climbed unexpectedly and touched the toe-end of his bat, and went straight to Steve Smith at second slip, who took a sharp catch just inches above the ground.

Fans Took Brutal Dig On Virat Kohli's Dismissal 

After Virat Kohli's dismissal, fans voiced their anger and disappointment in no uncertain terms. Social media was flooded with reactions, many of which were highly critical of the former captain's shot selection and inability to deal with Starc's stellar delivery. 

Twitter was ablaze with comments, as fans were quick to slam Kohli for his failure to adapt to the conditions. Some fans expressed their frustration with the way he has often been dismissed in similar situations in recent times.

In this article, let's take a look at few Twitter Reactions. 









At the time of writing, India are at precarious position and have already lost 4 wickets at just 82 runs. The match has been stopped as there is drizzle and the ground staff have brought on the covers. Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma will continue to play after the tea break.
