India vs Australia: Twitter Erupts as Virat Kohli Faces Backlash After Adelaide Flop

He dismissed Virat Kohli for just 7 runs off 8 balls, following earlier breakthroughs against Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. Kohli, expected to continue his strong form after a Perth century, faltered, leaving India at 82/4 by the session's end, putting immense pressure on the visitors.

With the ongoing match between India and Australia, Virat Kohli’s struggles in the Adelaide Pink-Ball Test have sparked intense reactions on social media. The Indian batting maestro was dismissed for just 7 runs off 8 balls by Mitchell Starc on the first ball of the 21st over. Attempting to leave a short delivery outside off, Kohli edged the ball to Steve Smith at second slip.

His dismissal marked another low point for the former Indian skipper, especially after his unbeaten century in the Perth Test raised fans’ expectations. Kohli’s wicket contributed to India’s collapse to 82/4 in the first session, with Starc and Scott Boland leading Australia’s bowling dominance. The cricketing icon’s repeated struggles against deliveries outside off-stump have left fans debating his form and technique on social media.
