Legendary spinner Shane Warne has expressed his disappointment over the way Virat Kohli’s promising knock ended on day one of the ongoing first Test between Australia and India at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide.

India were in a spot of bother when the right-handed batsman joined Cheteshwar Pujara in the middle. The visitors were reeling at 32 for 2 when Virat Kohli came to the crease. And as usual, the skipper pulled his team out of the trouble again. He shared a 68-run stand with Pujara before the latter departed.

It was followed by another fine stand with Ajinkya Rahane which was worth 88 runs before a horrible mix-up ended his promising knock.  Virat Kohli was well set and looking comfortable against the hosts. The 32-year old was looking on his way to yet another Test hundred before his fine knock ended with a run-out.

The dismissal means Virat Kohli is yet to score a century in 2020. To score a century this year, he has only one more chance remaining in this very Test as he will fly back home after the conclusion of the Pink Ball match to attend the birth of his first child.
