‘Virat is your…’: Fans slam Australia pacer Xavier Bartlett after dismissing Kohli

Young Australian star pacer Xavier Bartlett is in most talks as he was the key player for his team in the second ODI match at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. However, after the brilliant performance in the match, he is getting a lot of criticism.

The reason for the criticism is that he dismissed star Indian player Virat Kohli on a four-ball duck and set a positive statement for his career. However, the 26-year-old Xavier Bartlett didn’t expect the amount of attention and reaction.

It was one of the biggest wickets for him in his whole career and also, in world cricket, it turned out to be a huge moment in his ODI career, making it one of the most special wickets he has ever taken.

Bartlett got Kohli out leg-before with a clever plan. He first bowled a few balls that moved away from Kohli, making him expect another outswinger. But then, he bowled one that came back in sharply and hit Kohli on the pads, dismissing him for zero.

Watching Kohli get out LBW is a rare sight, which made the wicket extra special for Bartlett. However, some fans on social media went too far and began mocking the pacer for dismissing Kohli.
