Before the commencement of Day 3 in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) final of 2023, Virat Kohli, having been dismissed for a mere 14 runs on Day 2, shared an enigmatic Instagram story on his account.
During the significant match on Thursday, the ex-India captain faced disappointment as he fell victim to an exceptional delivery by Mitchell Starc. His dismissal put India in a difficult position at 71/4, following Australia’s formidable first innings total of 469 runs.
After witnessing Kohli casually engaged in a conversation with Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill, while having a snack, distraught fans expressed their anger. They quickly resorted to their social media platforms to criticize the renowned cricketer for his actions.
Virat Kohli intrigued his followers by sharing a cryptic Instagram story approximately three hours before the commencement of Day 3. His post consisted of a quote image that conveyed the message, “You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other peoples’ opinions.”
The Indian team found themselves in a state of complete disarray during the ongoing WTC final of 2023, as the Australian side displayed an outstanding performance.
Travis Head and Steve Smith both achieved centuries, adding to the dominance of the Australian team. Subsequently, the Indian batting lineup, packed with talented players, faced a daunting challenge from the fast bowlers, resulting in India concluding Day 2 at 151/5, with their control slipping away.
