Virat Kohli made a big mistake, left the 'lollipop' catch; The sad faces of the Indian players celebrating, watch the video

Virat Kohli dropped catch of Marnus Labuschagne Video: The ongoing first Test against Australia in Perth is going from bad to worse for Virat Kohli. Kohli, who flopped in batting in the first innings, has now also dropped an important catch. Kohli, standing at second slip, took an easy catch of Marnus Labuschagne, which his teammates could not believe. When Labuschagne's catch fell, he could not even open his account. His dropping of this catch can prove very costly for India because if Labuschagne stays at the crease, he can take the match far away from India.

Virat Kohli dropped the catch after holding it in his hand

Labuschagne tried to tamper with Jasprit Bumrah's emerging ball and hit the outside edge. The ball reached Kohli straight at a good height. Kohli completed the catch easily, but when he took the catch, the ball was falling downwards. Kohli was also sitting down after catching the ball.

During this time, one of his hands left the ball and the ball remained in his only hand. The ball slipped from that one hand too and fell down. The ball was set in Kohli's hand in such a way that both the players standing next to him started running in celebration. However, as soon as everyone realized that the catch had been made, everyone's faces fell. Even Captain Bumrah could not believe that this catch had not been completed.

Kohli was a flop in batting also

The start of the Australia tour has also not been good for Kohli, who is constantly struggling with form. Kohli never looked settled in his 12-ball innings. Kohli was standing outside the crease even on the bouncy pitch of Perth. A high bouncing ball also took his wicket. Kohli never looks as worried about scoring runs as he did today. Many people have also asked questions on social media regarding Kohli standing outside the crease.
