After heading to the WTC Final on the back of two consecutive IPL tons and up against his favourite opponent, Australia, Kohli was expected to revive India's innings after the quick dismissals of the openers.

Kohli showed a lot of promise with the way he started before being rattled by a beast of a delivery from Mitchell Starc that even left him in disbelief.

Later, Kohli was spotted having food while in a conversation with Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan and batting coach Vikram Rathour.

The sight of the players having a jolly conversation and Kohli having food left fans angry as they viciously attacked the former Indian skipper.
