Virat Kohli left stunned as he furiously swings bat in reaction to 'unusual' dismissal, leaving Pune crowd speechless

In the 24th over of the innings, Santner delivered a low full-toss that veered towards the middle stump. Surprisingly, Kohli went down on one knee and attempted a fierce shot across the line. However, he missed the ball completely as it sneaked under his bat and crashed into the middle and leg stumps.

The former India captain was left shellshocked at his dismissal as he stood there for seconds, before swinging his bat in anger and later walking towards the dugout shaking his head with disappointment as Pune crowd were left in stunned silence.

“It was the most unusual dismissal…the most un-Kohli-like dismissal,” exclaimed a commentator as replays of wicket were shown.

Former India cricketers Gavaskar and Shastri joined the commentary box minutes after the dismissal and the former captain reckoned that Kohli should have attempted a flick shot against the fuller delivery.

“All he had to do was flick it, through the midwicket line. He does it so well with bottom hand. But then the bottom of the bat hit the ground, and that did not help. He was very keen to come out and impose himself.,” he said.

Former India head coach spoke much on the same line, saying: “Very unusual. He could have taken it on the full and taken it through mid-on.”

Kohli's vulnerability against spin over the last few years has been no secret. In the last three years, he has fallen to the variety 21 times in 26 innings on Asian soil, scoring 606 runs at just 28.85. And, 10 of those dismissals came against left arm orthodox spin, against whom he averages 27.10.

Moments after the drinks break at the end of the opening hour on Day 2, India lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 30 off 60 before falling to Glenn Phillips.
