Twitter lashed out at the Indian batting-lineup after they put a dismal show in the Test opener against Australia. The Aussie pace trio jolted the Indian top-order and reduced the visitors to 56/4 before lunch.
“Virat Kohli won’t score a century in Australia.” This is what Pat Cummins had said few months ago at an event when asked how Australia will stop the Indian captain.
Cummins bowled only three deliveries to Kohli and induced him in poking at a wide ball, as a result of which the skipper found himself at the receiving end as Usman Khawaja took a stunning blinder to remove him.
Undoubtedly, fans and experts were very disappointed with Kohli’s batting performance.
Critics on twitter were immensely disappointed with the opening duo of KL Rahul and Murali Vijay after they failed to repeat the performance they exhibited in the tour game. KL Rahul (2) looked out of sorts against their express pace and was unsurprisingly dismissed cheaply.
After hitting Nathan Lyon for a six in the 38th over, Rohit Sharma (37) decided to hit him again the very next delivery for some inexplicable reason but Harris took the catch this time easily without moving an inch.
The fans on Twitter were bewildered and this is how they reacted…
India began the 1 Test on a highly disappointing note. After winning the toss, they opted to bat first but couldn’t count upon their decision.
