‘Kohli Ki Galti Hai’: Fans Slam Virat Kohli After Rishabh Pant's Run Out On Day 3 During IND vs NZ Test In Pune

India’s star player Rishabh Pant could not manage to make an impact with the bat as he got run out on Day 3 of the second Test against New Zealand at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. The Indian team were chasing a huge target of 359 runs to win the match and level the series but then they were constantly tormented by the New Zealand bowlers. 

Jaiswal was looking good as he played an innings of 77 before getting out while Pant was run out as he was looking to take a quick single. It happened on the second ball of the 23rd over as Virat Kohli chipped a delivery of Ajaz Patel towards the short-third man. Kohli then asked Pant for a single but then he could not manage to reach the crease as Santner came up with a quick throw. Pant had to walk back to the pavilion on the score of 3. Seeing this, fans were disappointed and started blaming Virat Kohli for Rishabh Pant’s run out.

It was Santner who gave India the first blow by taking the wicket of Rohit Sharma. The likes of Jaiswal and Shubman Gill were playing well and added 62 runs but then the Punjab-based batter got out.
