NEW DELHI: A full house at the world's largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad went absolutely silent in shock after batting mainstay Virat Kohli's untimely dismissal in the World Cup final against Australia on Sunday.
Against the run of play, India lost Kohli in the 29th over as he chopped on a returning Pat Cummins' delivery back onto his stumps.
The third ball of the Cummins 6th over was a back of length delivery which bounced a bit extra than Kohli anticipated. As Kohli rose on his toes to defend it, with a slightly angled bat, it proved to be fatal for him. The ball took the inside edge of Kohli's bat and went on to hit his stumps.
