However, this isn’t the stunned face of the India skipper that went viral after his dismissal for a duck in the first innings of the second Test. The utterly bemused expression on Kohli’s face after being bowled by a beauty from allrounder Moeen Ali that turned sharply and snuck through his defence was quickly turned into memes.
Earlier, on the opening day of the first Test, Kohli and his teammate Rohit Sharma’s synchronised body posture along with their facial expressions triggered a hilarious meme-fest on Twitter.
