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

Kohli’s obsession with the fourth and fifth stump ball has been proving too costly for him and the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia, and the story was not different in the ongoing crucial third Test at The Gabba in Brisbane.

Virat Kohli was dismissed similarly before this Test series—chasing a wide ball and edging it. Josh Hazlewood delivered a fuller delivery outside off stump that Kohli should have left alone.

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

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

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

Here’s how fans react to Virat Kohli’s failure in Gabba Test:

Speaking about the Day 3 story so far at The Gabba, Alex Carey notched up his half-century, and the Australian team could 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 reply, India has 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) flicked a half-volley straight to midwicket, while Shubman Gill (1) and Kohli (3) edged deliveries wide outside off stump to put India under pressure against Australia.

Reacting to India’s batting collapse, Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports at the lunch break: “Look at how Jaiswal threw away his wicket. When you have such a tough challenge ahead of you, you need to be patient and refrain from playing such shots.

You cannot score 445 in half an hour, or even 245 runs—required to avoid the follow-on—in that time period. Shubman Gill chased a ball outside off, and so did Virat Kohli, which was unnecessary. So, there was no role of the pitch. They just played poor 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 is playing a hide-and-seek game in the ongoing third Test match against Australia.
