On the last ball of the 41st minute, Scott Boland Delivered a full delivery which Jaiswal clipped powerfully to midwicket. He immediately called for a single, but Kohli hesitated and refused to participate in the race.

A decisive moment in the match. Jaiswal runs out. He called for a quick single. Kohli was watching the ball. Who is at fault here? #BorderGavaskarTrophy #ViratKohli #yashasvijaiswal #AUSvsIND

Jaiswal missed a well-deserved 100 runs. I wonder what the confusion is. You don't usually run half way and down the middle. Reminds me of Rahane-Kohli's recent run on BGT.

What an unfortunate dismissal for Jaiswal and Kohli once again at the crime scene.. So today this will be the main focus of discussion and Rohit Sharma will escape criticism once again 🤣🤣🤣

People love to criticize Virat Kohli.
But Yashasvi Jaiswal's run out was not Kohli's fault.

Another suicide for Kohli! Both Jaiswal and Kohli were in good form and suddenly both were gone without forcing the Australians to do something extraordinary. #BoxingDayTest #BGT2025

I almost thought Kohli had given up on Jaiswal when Cummins hit the stumps. Had Kohli accepted Jaiswal's invitation, he would have been run out instead.

Yashavi's run out broke the concentration. This run-out was mostly Kohli's fault.

Kohli is simply going after young cricketers. Hit them if they are on the opponent's team, causing a teammate to run out

That's how I will remember Kohli.
He deliberately stabbed a 19-year-old man on the shoulder.
His team's best bat runs out.
Fucking soon after.Regards, Virat.

There's nothing sweeter than seeing Kohli run out by India's best batsman, and then get out immediately afterwards.
Desserts only!#AUSvsIND
