Virat Kohli was evidently fuming at his teammates after Rohit Sharma dropped a catch on a frustrating day for the Indian cricket team in the second Test against New Zealand at the Maharashtra Cricket Assocation (MCA) Stadium in Pune as the hosts are heading towards their first home Test series defeat in 12 years.
During the last ball of the 37th over, Ravindra Jadeja produced an edge from Tom Latham which went in between Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant. While the Indian captain tried his best to pull off an incredible catch at first slip, his full length dive was not enough as the ball raced past for a boundary
While Rohit was disappointed at not being able to get his hand to the effort with India needing a miracle to win the Pune Test, former captain Virat Kohli was evidently not pleased. Just seconds after the ball reached the boundary line, he was spotted fuming and giving his teamates an earful.
Kohli was seemingly not pleased with no player running behind the ball and trying to stop it from going to the boundary to save a few runs.
