Virat Kohli's registered a straight second duck in the on-going India vs Australia ODI series.
He had to walk back after facing 8 deliveries in the first match in Perth, without opening his account. Today in Adelaide, Kohli's most productive venue Down Under, he was sent back on 0 off 4 balls.
As the star batsman was walking back to the dressing room, live visuals showed him acknowledging the crowd, sort of waving goodbye. The move has now sparked retirement speculation among fans on social media.
Internet Reacts To Kohli Waving The Crowd Goodbye
Reacting to the gesture, a fan on X wondered if this was was just an acknowledgement to the crowd or a signal of him potentially retiring.
Another fan said that it was time for him to retire.
Virat Kohli has already retired from T20Is and Tests. ODI is the only format in which he remains active internationally at the moment.
However, one fan believes that he should have continued playing Test cricket to help with longevity.
Here are some more reactions to Virat Kohli waving the Adelaide Oval crowd goodbye:
