Indian batter Virat Kohli wasn’t able to do much with the bat during the first innings of IND vs AUS 1st Test. Virat was dismissed for five runs by Josh Hazlewood and the latter was expected to score runs by the Indian fans. While the Indian team was wrapped up for a score of 150 runs in their first innings, Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah pushed the Aussies on the backfoot by dismissing opener Nathan McSweeney early. However, Bumrah missed out on another wicket in the same over when Virat Kohli dropped a ‘sitter’ catch of Marnus Labuschagne. The whole Indian team was ecstatic, however, it all went in vain after Virat missed out on the catch.
