'Gautam Gambhir needs to kick Virat Kohli out': Fans furious as batter fails in final BGT 2024-25 innings

Virat Kohli's poor form continued in the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as the Indian stalwart was dismissed for another low score in the second innings. It ended his disappointing series with the bat in which he struggled badly.

It was a typical dismissal for Kohli as he outside-edged Scott Boland's good length ball to Steve Smith at second slip. Kohli was visibly frustrated and even yelled at himself before trudging back to the pavilion.

After his dismissal, social media was flooded with messages asking for his retirement. The users were clearly furious at the former Indian captain for getting out the same way again and again.

Kohli I'm sorry but you're done. Not even an amateur will get out for the same delivery in every single innings of a series. pic.twitter.com/C2BXF3Msh3

Rohit Sharma should sit on a protest and ask for Kohli to be dropped too. #AUSvIND

A disappointing series comes to an end for Kohli. Is this the last time we have seen him walk off in a Test match in Australia? pic.twitter.com/cN9TltgxQ3

I don't think #Kohli should play #Ranji trophy to sort out batting woes. He should be starting from club cricket to sort out this fundamental issues. He ought to struggle badly even in domestic circuit #INDvsAUSTest #BGT2025

Virat Kohli's poor BGT 2024-25

It was another disappointment for Virat Kohli and his fans and it brought an end to a highly disappointing series for him down under. Over the years, he has been a talismanic player for India but his returns in the last few games have made him a liability on the side.

In the current series, Kohli scored 190 runs in five Tests at an average of 23.75. He scored a hundred in the first Test at Perth but failed to get a big innings since.

The pressure will be high on the veteran batter now and there are calls on his retirement as well. Virat Kohli's low returns has proved to be detrimental as India has been suffering constant middle order collapses.
