IND vs WI 2019: Virat Kohli Goes for a Golden Duck, Twitterati React

After having lost to West Indies in the first ODI, Virat Kohli-led India have been playing against the same opponent in the second game. The game is going on in Visakhapatnam where India put up a massive total of 387 runs in 50 overs.

Batting first, India openers – Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul got off to a flying start. Both stitched a 227-run partnership where Rahul scored 102 off 104, including 8 fours and 3 sixes. His dismissal brought the captain Kohli in the middle.

While everyone was expecting another Kohli masterclass, he fell for a golden duck. It was a?slower short ball from Kieron Pollard where Virat was trying to hit down. But it hits high on his bat and lobs up to mid-wicket where Roston Chase took an easy catch.
