"Show us a better love story than Virat Kohli and 4th Stump Balls"- Twitter reacts to Gabba failure


Virat Kohli has been heavily criticized by fans of the Indian cricket team on social media after he once again “choked” when the team needed a big innings from their iconic batsman in the ongoing third Test against Australia on day 3 at The Gabba in Brisbane.

Kohli’s obsession with the fourth and fifth ball has proven too costly for him and the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia, and the story was no different in the ongoing crucial third Test at The Gabba in Brisbane. .

Virat Kohli faces fans’ fury after another flop at The Gabba

Virat Kohli was dismissed in a similar manner before this Test series – chasing a wide ball and edged it. Josh Hazlewood played a fuller delivery outside off stump which Kohli should have left alone.

But as usual, the right-handed batsman hit a drive away from his body, got a clear outside edge and Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey took an easy catch to end his stay in Brisbane.

Interestingly, Mitchell Starc’s brilliant save on the previous ball, which put Kohli on strike, drew applause from some Australian players. It was a big setback for Indian teamwhen Kohli departed for 3 runs off 16 balls in the crucial Gabba Test against Australia.

After another failure with the bat in Australia, fans expressed their anger asking Virat Kohli to retire from all formats of the game. Some fans even misled the right-hander that he is serving his notice period, while some felt that Kohli considers himself bigger than the game.

This is how fans react to Virat Kohli’s failure in the Gabba Test:

Talking about the story of Day 3 so far at The Gabba, Alex Carey scored his half-century, and the Australian team was able to add 40 runs to their overnight score, as the hosts were bowled out for 445 runs in their first innings against India in the ongoing third Test.

In response, India lost three wickets in just eight overs and found themselves in a precarious situation in the ongoing third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at The Gabba. Yashasvi Jaiswal (4) hit a half-volley straight to mid-wicket, while Shubman Gill (1) and Kohli (3) hit deliveries outside off stump to put pressure on India against Australia.

Reacting to India’s batting collapse, Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports during the lunch break: “Look how Jaiswal bowled his wicket. When you have such a difficult challenge ahead of you, you have to be patient and refrain from taking those shots.

You can’t score 445 in half an hour, not even 245 runs (necessary to avoid a follow-on) in that period of time. Shubman Gill chased a ball from outside off, as did Virat Kohli, which was unnecessary. So, the field had no role. “They just made bad shots.”

Now, the Indian cricket team is in deep trouble at 22/3, and all hopes are pinned on KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, heroes of the last historic Test match victory at The Gabba. However, the rain plays hide and seek in the ongoing third Test match against Australia.
