Ind vs Aus 1st Test: Virat Kohli was looking brilliant until a bad call from Ajinkya Rahane at Adelaide Oval on Thursday. India had won the toss and elected to bat first. Both Rahane and Kohli were building a good partnership after the visitors suffered early blows.
But in the 76th over, on the last ball of Nathan Lyon, Rahane pushed the delivery to left of mid-off and called for a run. Kohli trusting his deputy responded immediately. But Rahane then bailed out, leaving his captain stranded in the middle of the pitch. The mix-up led to hilarious tweets from Twitterati.
Cricket commentator and expert, Aakash Chopra took to Twitter and wrote: “Yes yes yes….no no no. Oh nooo…..that’s the only way the Kohli runout and what followed it can be described. ”
Yes yes yes….no no no. Oh nooo…..that’s the only way the Kohli runout and what followed it can be described. #AusvInd
