Virat Kohli faces flak after getting dismissed by playing the ‘worst shot of his career’

The 35-year-old completely misjudged a delivery by Santner which went on to rattle his stumps and dismiss him after scoring just a single run

India star batter Virat Kohli was only able to stay on the crease for 9 deliveries before getting cleaned up by New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. The 35-year-old was dismissed after scoring a single run during the first session of the second day.

However, it was Kohli’s shot that brought even more criticism. He completely misjudged a full toss and tried to play his signature glance. This decision ended up costing him as his bat missed the ball by some margin before it rattled the wickets.

After the dismissal, the Indian batter started to get brutally trolled on social media for his abysmal form in red-ball cricket which doesn’t seem like improving anytime soon. Ex-India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar even went on to label Kohli’s shot as the ‘worst shot of his career’.
