’Kohli loves slips like Hashmi loves lips’, fans bash Virat after IND batter once again falls for outside off-stump trap

Live Mint  

Virat Kohli's woeful run against the deliveries pitched outside off-side continued as the India batter's once again fell to Scott Boland's trap on Day 1 of the fifth and final Test in Sydney on Friday. Coming in at the fall of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Kohli survived a first-ball duck when he edged a ball from Boland, as TV replays showed Steve Smith had grounded the cherry. Thereafter, Kohli played the patient game as he and Shubman Gill steadied the Indian ship with a 40-run stand for the third wicket in 106 balls before the latter got out at the stroke of lunch. However, a lapse of concentration and urge to go on against the widish outside off-stump deliveries cost him the wicket.
