Virat Kohli was dismissed for a mere five runs in the first innings of the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia at the Optus stadium on Friday.

Kohli was undone by a well-executed short ball from Josh Hazlewood, his former team-mate at Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The ball took extra bounce, caught Kohli by surprise, and resulted in a simple catch for Usman Khawaja at first slip.

 

The dismissal sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with folks expressing disappointment and concern over Kohli's form. While some praised Hazlewood for his skill, others sympathised with the batter.
