Rachel09 mins


Fans on Twitter reacted after Indian national cricket team batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma failed to get going in the second innings of the ongoing second Test against the Australian national cricket team. Day 2 of the match between the teams is underway at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide.

Virat Kohli made an early exit at the crease after the Indian National Cricket Team lost Yashasvi Jaiswal. But once he reached the crease, he did not look comfortable as he was beaten several times by the pacers of the Australian National Cricket Team.

Virat Kohli, in particular, was tested by Scott Boland during his stay at the crease. The top batsman defended the ball and also took some quick singles, but it was only a matter of time after he was back in the hut, especially with the number of times he was beaten.

Virat Kohli fell prey to Scott Boland as his pacer produced a peach of a delivery. The pacer bowled one that was full and was on the fourth-fifth stump line. The bat represented the corner as he raced forward to defend the ball.

The ball, however, held its line, took the thick outside edge and was almost carried to Curry. The batting was beaten a few times against Boland by similar deliveries and then beaten as the pacer picked his second wicket.

This was the second failure for Virat Kohli in the match. The first innings ended with 11 runs off 21 balls and his knock also included a boundary, which went over the edge. The batter scored just 7 runs off 8 balls in the first match.

With his wicket, the Indian National Cricket Team came under immense pressure and lost their third wicket. They were left reeling at 66/3.

With Kohli back in the hut early, it was expected that senior supporter Rohit Sharma would step up and thrive under tough conditions. With himself under pressure, it was expected that the captain would lead from the front and bail his team out of trouble. But it wasn’t like that.

Rohit Sharma, during his stay at the crease, also looked scratchy. Although he played a great drive, it was also a matter of time for him. Pat Cummins produced a peach of a delivery and hit the top as the Indian captain departed after scoring 6 runs off 15 balls.
