betvisa loginTwitter Reactions: Australia shines under lights as India rue Virat Kohli run-out

Australia reduced Ind𓂃ia to 233/6 at stumps of Day 1 of the pink🏅-ball Test at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.

Virat Kohli top-scored with 74 before getting run out. The Indian skipper added two fifty-plus partnerships – 68 runs for the third wicket with Cheteshwar Paujara (43) and an 88-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane (42).

From a comfortable 188/3, India slumped to 206 for six as Rahane and Hanuma Vihari (16) found the pace and swing generated by the ball under lights too hot to handle. Wriddhiman Saha and Ravichandran Ashwin were batting on 9 and 15 respectively at stumps.

Earlier, after opting to bat first, the visitors got an early blow in the form of Prithvi Shaw (0). Mitchell Starc casꦑtled the young l𒁃ad on the second ball of the match. Mayank Agarwal looked confident during his stay in the middle, but Pat Cummins cleaned him up with ‘peach of a delivery’.

It was Rahane's call. Kohli could not have confirmed by looking back at the ball. It was totally Rahane's fault. Any batsman in the world would have been run out if their partner would have made such horrendous fault in judgement.

Virat Kohli done all hard work but one bad call fromဣ Rahane ended everything with new ball coming in just 3 overs. It was such a brilliant knock against a high class bowlꦅing unit.

Virat Kohli clearly not a happy man as he walks off the field, chucks his gloves away before entering the tunnel. Considering how much he commits to a call for a run, he had no chance of getting back once Rahane♏ changed his mind

Brilliant batting ꦡby and he was looking so determined to make a huge mark. Rahane just sold him down the river at a crucial point in the game and got himself out as well not soon after. Definitely ꦅthe turning point in the game.
