Manjrekar Surprised To Get Kohli Cool In Adelaide Test

Australia ended Day 1 of the opening Test of the four-match series against India as the side on top. They restricted India to 233/6 after Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane seemed to be guiding India nicely after the fall of Cheteshwar Pujara’s wicket.
 
But Kohli’ run out, as a result of the horrible mix up between the India captain and Ajinkya Rahane, proved the biggest talking point of the day as it allowed Australia to cash in on the little window of opportunity and strike twice with the second new ball.

Kohli’s run out was Rahane’s fault. He called for a single and as Kohli responded, Rahane backtracked, leaving his captain high and dry. Kohli, who is yet to score a century this year, looked set to register a three-digit score at his favourite hunting ground, but fell short of it by 26 runs.

 

Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar was surprised to see Kohli keeping his cool and not exploding at his partner after the run out. The India captain looked at Rahane once and walked off the field dejected. Manjrekar looked back at the dismissal, believing Kohli will feel the sting of that dismissal for a while.
