Kohli Walking Off Despite Being Not Out vs Pak Surprises Twitter

India scored a mammoth 336/5 batting first against Pakistan in Manchester but it was skipper Virat Kohli’s dismissal that made all the talking points in the mid-innings.

Kohli tried to pull a bouncer from Mohammad Amir and walked off straight away after the Pakistan fielders made the slightest of appeals.

Umpire Marias Erasmus did not raise his finger initially and only gave his decision after he saw Kohli walking back to the dressing room.

Television replays showed that the ball did not touch the bat and this left the Indian cricket fans surprised. Kohli walked instinctively, thinking that he hit the ball only to find that he did not after reaching the dressing room.

Meanwhile, the Indian fans on Twitter expressed their disappointment as Kohli missed out on another hundred.

Wow, nothing on snicko for the Virat dismissal......And he walked!

Waiting for the day when umpire will give the opposition batsman out and Virat Kohli will go all the way to the dressing room and bring him back for sportsmanship #INDvPAK
