The Indian cricket team squared off against England in the opening day of the first Test match. For a while, both teams duked it out, with the only challenge coming from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow. But then, Root was sent packing, courtesy a brilliant run out by Indian captain Virat Kohli.
Root had faced 156 balls and scored 80 runs at the time of his dismissal. When he departed, the score was 216-4 and he had a strike rate of 51.28. The run out by captain Kohli was so amazing that social media went wild. Here is how Twitter reacted to the run out.
