Dissecting Kohli's dismissal, former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri observed that the veteran batter was unlucky to get dismissed in an unusual manner at Nagpur. After stroking a couple of glorious drives, Kohli ended up gifting away his wicket in the 53rd over bowled by Murphy. Coming out in Kohli's defense, Shastri made an interesting remark about the star batter's cheap dismissal. Averaging almost 50, the former Indian skipper has accumulated 1694 runs against Australia in the longest and oldest format of the game. Kohli made his Test debut against the West Indies at Sabina Park in 2011.
