IND vs NZ | Twitter stunned as Kohli falls to new low after succumbing to innocuous Santner full toss

India endured a horrid start to Day 2 as Shubman Gill departed within the first hour of play for 30 before Virat Kohli followed suit after a brief nine-ball stay, thus leaving the team struggling at 57/3 in pursuit pf New Zealand's first innings total of 259. It was a fifth under-20 score for the talisman across his last eight Test innings but more concerning was the manner in which the dismissal came, instantly ushering silence in an exuberant Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.

The veteran was up against left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner who was trundling in from around the stumps. The wily Kiwi operator floated the fourth ball of his 24th over extremely full, trying to entice Kohli into going on the attack, but ended up going too far with his plan and the delivery ended up as a full toss. Kohli instinctively went down on one knee, hoping to slap the ball towards leg for an easy boundary, but much to everyone's shock the batter's half-hearted attempt ended up missing the line of the ball as the red cherry skidded straight on to dismantle the stumps.

Kohli was livid with himself for getting out in such dismal manner, much like Twitterati.

Oh hell no!
