'Dear Virat, Time Has Come...': Open Letter To Kohli From 'Disappointed Fan' Goes Viral After GABBA Failure (Source: AP)
When Virat Kohli scored a century in Perth, the Indian cricket fraternity was overjoyed. They felt Kohli might have finally found his mojo back. He had a great record in Australia and got the perfect start to the series, however, the joy was short-lived for the fans as the veteran failed miserably in the Adelaide Test. Things didn't change in the third Test at GABBA as he was dismissed for just three runs in the first innings. What hurts the Indian fans most is the way Kohli has got out throughout the series - fetching a ball outside off. It's a known weakness for Kohli but to get out the same way every time and not being able to work on it is really saddening for the fans.
Following a horrible outing at GABBA, an Indian fan's open letter to Virat Kohli went viral on social media.

"Dear Virat, no I am not clubbing you with Rohit or any other player. You are always competing with only yourself. Such are the high standards, you set for yourself, the last few years have been extremely difficult as your fan. It's not about the low score, it's about the approach and mode of dismissals, again and again. I feel you really need to think about the huge legacy you have created and how long you want to save it from damaging it further. I am not a big stat fan, but can't see your average fall below 47, it's already very low. I am sure, you won't overstay. But, time has come to introspect at least in Tests," he wrote.
Meanwhile, India find themselves in big trouble in the third Test. Australia posted a huge score of 445 in the first innings before leaving India reeling at 48-4. Australia can't lose the game from this position and it's up to India to save the Test now. There is rain predicted for the remainder of the Test and the entire Indian cricket fraternity will be looking up to rain gods to lend some help to India in saving the Test.
