Twitter reactions on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma getting out cheaply vs New Zealand in 2019 World Cup semi-final

Twitter reactions on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma: Twitter couldn’t fathom the fact that India lost three wickets in a row vs New Zealand.

During the first semi-final of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between India and New Zealand at Old Trafford, India lost three wickets on the trot to hand the advantage to the opposition.

Chasing a 240-run target, India were expected to start well despite the overcast conditions. It was New Zealand’s potent attack which saw the Top Three Indian batsmen fell like a pack of cards within a span of 11 balls.

On the third delivery of the second over, India vice-captain and highest run-scorer in the tournament Rohit Sharma (1) edged a Matt Henry delivery behind the wickets to Tom Latham. In what came as a significant blow, New Zealand continued to make inroads into the Indian lineup.

On the fourth delivery of the following over, New Zealand spearhead Trent Boult found India captain Virat Kohli (1) wanting in front of the stumps. Despite Kohli reviewing his dismissal, he was ruled out because of the umpire’s call. As far as the Indian fans were concerned, believing that Sharma and Kohli have been dismissed in consecutive overs was too much for them.

Lokesh Rahul, who scored a century against Sri Lanka, was expected to take the mantle on himself in the senior duo’s absence but wasn’t to be. On the first ball of the following over, even Rahul (1) edged a Henry delivery to Latham as India were reduced to 5/3.
