During the third Test match between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Virat Kohli misjudged a run and got out. He was looking in a good touch, but threw his wicket unnecessarily.
The Indian batter started his innings on a high by flicking the ball to the boundary line for a four. Fans in the stadium were cheering and applauding the batter, hoping to see King Kohli’s comeback.
However, in the 19th over, Virat chipped the ball towards Matt Henry at mid off, and called for a risky run. Henry collected the ball and launched a bullet throw towards the danger end, leading to a dismissal of Virat Kohli.
The Indian batter loves the conditions at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, but failed to capitalize on this opportunity.
Meanwhile, fans on ‘X’ have responded strongly to the failure of Virat. Here’s a look at some of the reactions:
Indian batter Shubman Gill misses out on a well deserved century
Shubman Gill, the new number 3 batter for team India, proved his worth and hype by carrying India to a lead for the first time in this series. The batter scored a solid knock of 90 runs on 146 balls, with perfect skill and technique. In his innings, he hit 7 fours and 1 six.
The talented batter rescued India, along with Rishabh Pant from 86 for 4. Both of the batters had a partnership of 96 runs in 114 balls. With this innings, he proved why he is the next big thing in Indian cricket.
This 90-run knock will boost the confidence of the 25-year-old batter, before the most anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
Courtesy to Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, India clinched a lead of 27 runs against New Zealand in the third Test at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
