‘Ego higher than team, won’t learn': Fans troll Virat Kohli after he gets out to delivery outside off stump once again

Indian cricketer Virat Kohli's recurring struggles with deliveries outside the off-stump took centre stage once more on the opening day of the fifth Test against Australia, on Friday. This marked the 22nd occasion since 2021 that Virat has fallen prey to pacers in this manner Virat’s dismissal came as no surprise to cricket enthusiasts who have followed his ongoing battle with deliveries in the corridor of uncertainty. However, Boland, exploiting Virat’s Achilles’ heel, bowled a delivery just outside off-stump that slightly nipped away. Many supporters expressed their frustration over Virat’s persistence with risky shots outside the off-stump, labelling it as an indication of stubbornness or, worse, an inflated ego prioritising personal style over the team’s cause.
