Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been going through a rough patch in the ongoing ODI series against Australia, failing to make a significant impact with the bat in the white ball format. In the first ODI, he was dismissed by Mitchell Starc, and in the second, Nathan Ellis got the prized wicket by trapping him before the wicket. As a result, India suffered a humiliating 10-wicket loss on tꦉheir home turf.
During the second ODI, Ellis bowled an impressive inswinger, which hit Kohli’s pad, leading to a strong appeal for an LBW. The umpire Nitin Menon didn’t take much time to raise his finger, indicating Kohli was out. This incident led to a lot of chatter on social media platforms, with fans sharing their reactions and opinions.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
