Virat Kohli, who started off with real intent with Rohit Sharma was sent back to the pavilion by left-arm pacer Reece Topley. However, during India's innings, head coach Rahul Dravid was spotted consoling a heartbroken Kohli in the dressing room.

Kohli has endured a tough T20 World Cup. The Delhi-born star has managed to score just 75 runs in seven games at an average of 10.71.

With Rahul Dravid not applying for a coaching stint extension with India, and the T20 World Cup potentially being Kohli's last-ever T20 tournament, there might have been quite a bit of emotion after that failure.

The wicket also marked yet another failure for Kohli in a T20 tournament that he managed to master beyond belief. Previously, Kohli had scored a half-century in every knockout game, with an unbeaten 72 in the 2014 semis, 77 in the final and an 89* in the 2016 semi-final. He also scored a 50 in the 2022 semi-final against England. 

India바카라™s milestone man, however, has run into a rough patch. After a really good IPL campaign, he opened for India and has a highest-score of just 37, with two ducks to his name.
