Team India managed to throw away three wickets by the close of play on day one of the third Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. While night watchman Mohammed Siraj wasted a review for an lbw shout that looked plumb, Kohli's wicket drew plenty of frustration among the fans due to the needless run he went for.
The dismissal of Kohli occurred in the 19th over of the innings as Rachin Ravindra came on to bowl his first. The former Test captain got off the mark with a boundary and went for a single after toe-ending one to Matt Henry, who nailed the direct hit from mid-on. Replays showed that the right-handed batter was at least a yard short of the crease at the non-striker's end.
Here's how fans have reacted to Virat Kohli's run-out in Mumbai:
Ravindra Jadeja's five-wicket haul limits New Zealand to 235 after India lose a crucial toss:
Meanwhile, India once again lost an important toss as Black Caps captain Tom Latham chose to bat first. Akash Deep got the first wicket of Devon Conway, trapping him lbw from around the wicket angle. The bedrock of New Zealand's 235 was the 87-run stand between Will Young (71) and Daryl Mitchell (82), while Latham and Glenn Phillips also come up with small contributions.
For India, Ravindra Jadeja was the pick of the bowlers with a fifer, while Washington Sundar picked up four wickets. Before losing Kohli, India also lost Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Siraj, slipping from a comfortable 78/1 to 84/4. The hosts trail by 149 runs heading into day two in Mumbai.
