Watch: Virat Kohli’s Shocking Dismissal In Second Innings In Pune Test
Feb 25, 2017 at 1:56 PM
The ongoing Test between India and Australia at Pune has ended in a shocking manner for Virat Kohli. The in-form India skipper, who walked into the series after scoring a majestic double ton against Bangladesh earlier this month, was dismissed for a rare duck in the first innings and his dismissal in the second innings was even more shocking.
Chasing an improbable target of 441 on a rank turner, the hosts were already in a spot of bother after their openers returned to the pavilion with only 16 on the scoreboard. And their condition only deteriorated when Kohli departed after scoring only 13. Kohli’s dismissal has surely dealt a huge blow to India’s hopes of saving the Test and the captain would be really angry for failing to get a big score. But more than the dismissal, the 28-year old will be absolutely furious with the way he was dismissed Steve O’Keefe. Looking to cover the line of the delivery, Kohli stretched his front foot before raising his bat to leave the ball. However, the ball did not turn and went on to hit the off-stump.
Here is a clip of that dismissal:
