With Team India star batter Virat Kohli repeating the pattern of nicking a fifth-stump delivery and getting dismissed on day three of the Brisbane Test against Australia, netizens have expressed their frustration. Netizens have expressed their frustration with the right-handed batter, claiming that he should learn from MS Dhoni and call it quits from the longest format.
The dismissal occurred in the seven over of the innings as the former Indian captain went for a drive off Josh Hazlewood’s bowling as the ball was pitched outside off-stump. The 36-year-old went chasing the ball and edged it to the keeper as the hosts had picked up their third wicket of the innings after Mitchell Starc got the better of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill. With Dhoni retiring from Tests amid the 2014-15 series Down Under, fans have urged Kohli to follow his footsteps.

Below is how the netizens have reacted to Virat Kohli getting out cheaply again:
Australia bowled out after adding 40 runs on day three in Brisbane
Australia, meanwhile, were bowled out for 445 runs after starting day three on 405/7 at the Gabba. Alex Carey was the last man to be out, dismissed for 70 by Akash Deep.
Day two of the Test completely belonged to Australia as Steve Smith and Travis Head struck centuries, thereby stitching a 241-run stand to form the bedrock of a massive total. The series is currently locked at 1-1, with India winning in Perth and Australia bouncing back to level it in Adelaide.
