Australia vs India 4th Test Day 2 live updates: ‘Jealous’ Kohli slammed over key moment
Virat Kohli, who had already emerged as the villain of the Boxing Day Test, is now getting hammered for his role in a crucial run out.
A wild finish to day two left Australia firmly in control of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
India was cruising at 2/153 in reply to the home side’s first innings of 474 all out, with young gun Yashasvi Jaiswal (82) and veteran Virat Kohli (36) producing a hundred-run partnership.
But it all came crashing down after Jaiswal took off for a single and Kohli wasn’t going anywhere, leaving the opener stranded and ultimately run-out.

That sparked a collapse of 3/6 as the tourists fell in a heap, leaving Australia with a 310-run lead and India just five wickets in hand entering day three.
Skipper Pat Cummins (2/57) and MCG cult hero Scott Boland (2/24) led the way with the ball, leaving India with an enormous task on Saturday.
Earlier in the day, Steve Smith (140) recorded his 34th Test century, moving him into a tie for seventh on the all-time list.
Jasprit Bumrah (4/99) was India’s best with the ball yet again, but the Australian batting line-up fired in its first innings.
It all came after the drama of Thursday night, when Kohli was fined for his shoulder bump on Sam Konstas during the first session of play.
