Virat Kohli's troubled look in match against Australia sparks meme fest

It was possibly the look that defined Tuesday's match from India's perspective.

Cameras caught the troubled expression on Virat Kohli's face as India pacer Umesh Yadav was spanked for boundaries by Cameron Green when he came on to bowl the second over of the Australian innings.


The troubled look came on when Cameron got his second boundary of the first two balls, and the Aussie further went to hit two more of the next two deliveries.

Ian Bishop, former West Indies bowler turned commentator, saw what was coming. "I can see that Virat Kohli look becoming a meme," he tweeted.

His words came true. Several memes flooded Twitter in the hours that followed each showing how Kohli's look suited certain situations.

This one also referred to the other funny situation in the match when captain Rohit Sharma playfully tried to 'strangle' Dinesh Karthik for not calling for a review on an edge.

Kohli, as a player, did not have a great match either, getting caught at mid-on off the bowling of Nathan Ellis for just 2 runs.

Put in to bat, India scored a huge 208/6 in their 20 overs, but Australia pulled off their second-highest chase in T20I cricket with four balls to spare.

Knocks from Cameron Green (61), Steve Smith (35) and Matthew Wade (45*) helped the visitors as they chased down the target with a surge in the death overs. With this victory.

Earlier, India lost skipper Rohit Sharma (11) and Virat Kohli (2) cheaply, but KL Rahul (55) and Suryakumar Yadav (46) stabilised the innings with a 68-run stand. Hardik Pandya played a brilliant knock of 71* off just 30 balls with seven fours and five sixes to finish the innings at 208/6.

Cameron Green was adjudged as 'Man of the Match' for his 61 and 1/46. Australia leads the T20I series 1-0.
