India and Australia are playing against each other in the third Test of the five-match Test series at ‘The Gabba’ in Brisbane. The Indian team is currently pushed back by the Aussies after a dominant batting performance in the first innings. The rain has played a major factor in the match as of now as majority of play on Day 1 and Day 3 was called off. The visitors have scored 51/4 in 17 overs at stumps on the third day in reply of Australia’s first innings score of 445. It was the same old story for the Indian team as the top order crumbled once again and key players such as Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli got out cheaply. The major attention gained Virat’s dismissal who was caught behind off Josh Hazlewood for a score of 3 runs from 16 balls.
Virat Kohli has had troubles while facing deliveries outside off stump from a long time. His weakness came out on display on a large scale during the 2014 England tour when the likes of Stuart Broad and James Anderson completely exposed the Indian batter who was almost having a dream run of his life. However, since then Virat has achieved a lot of in international cricket but his weakness still stands on the same place as it was before. Fan on the social media once again highlighted the same issue of Virat Kohli getting out while chasing down outside off stump delivery. Some of the reactions are mentioned below:

Dear Virat Kohli, Why can’t you simply LEAVE that delivery? Poori duniya bol bol ke thak gayi hai, aapko sunai nahi de raha?@imVkohli

Virat Kohli has been a real match winner for the India national cricket team and came into the third Test match after smashing a hundred in the first Test played in Perth. Kohli who has slammed 81 international centuries, needs to work on his technical flaws if he hopes to make a comeback in the series.
