ICC World Cup 2019, IND vs PAK: Virat Kohli’s dismissal confuses the fans; walks off despite being not out

Virat Kohli who thought he had nicked a bouncer from Mohammad Amir walked off the field without waiting for the umpire’s decision during the big clash of India vs Pakistan. Kohli left the pitch which made the fans furious and the replays that commenced showed clearly that his bat was nowhere close to the ball. It is possible that the Indian skipper might have heard the sound of his bat but fans hoped for the Captain to wait for the umpire’s call before walking off the pitch.

A few also joked that the only person who can dismiss Virat Kohli is Virat himself. Several memes paved the way post the mysterious dismissal of the Indian skipper. Let’s have a look at few of the tweets.

Virat Kohli has earned a lot of appreciation in the tournament with his commendable gestures on the field. He stopped the Indian fans from booing Steve Smith. However, this time, he left the Indian fans confused.

Despite that, Virat smashed a solid half century and the Indian team managed to put across 336 runs on board and registered their third win in the tournament with an ease. The Men in Blue have won against the arch-rivals, Pakistan making the total of 7-0 in World Cup tournament. India will play its next game against the Afghans on Saturday, June 22 at Rose Bowl cricket ground.
