It was a frustrating day in the office for Virat Kohli and co as they lost to Australia by 10 wickets in the first ODI against Australia and on top of that Kohli, had an argument with the Umpire over an LBW decision. This is how the Twitterati reacted to the incident where the umpire was right.

This is what happened!

True!

Virat Kohli's incredulity at the umpire not giving out to what seemed like a good LBW appeal would be funny if the bad review in the previous over was not hilariously bad. #INDvAUS

The funny part is the Umpire was spot on!

After so many failed DRS judgments ur skipper Virat Kohli is laughing at umpire's decision on his face, ridiculing his judgment.

You have any decency left @BCCI ?

Btw umpire's decision was right #INDvsAUS

And then steps in an MS Dhoni critic!

Virat Kohli can't argue with umpire but MS Dhoni can and he did that in IPL. So all the rules and regulations will be applied on Virat Kohli lol.#ViratKohli #INDvsAUS #INDvAUS

Something we don't want to see from the Indian captain!

#ViratKohli's onfield behaviour is very bad, not in good spirit. He's just can't take umpire decisions. Skillfully probably the best going around these days but with behaviour, disappointing to say the least. #IndvAus #AusvInd

Desi Baniya is probably right!

He did not laugh on umpire.. but instead on himself..

Wait wait wait, hold up!

@BCCI should suspend or put a Match Fine on @imVkohli for disrespecting the Umpire... What the hell Kohli thinks of himself... Arrogance should be FINED HEAVILY. #INDvAUS #ViratKohli

Isn't WWE staged?

True that. Umpire's word has to be final, it is cricket not @WWE
