However, a rate brain-fed moment came in the match where a horrible mix-up between Jaiswal cost the former his wicket. While there remain different theories over who should be blamed for Jaiswal’s dismissal, former India cricketers Sanjay Manjrekar and Irfan Pathan got engaged in a heated argument in the post-day show for the broadcaster Star Sports.

Manjrekar felt that Kohli should’ve responded to Jaiswal’s call and taken the single as it was the latter who was running at the danger end. Pathan, however, disagreed, saying Kohli was also at the risk of getting run-out at the striker’s end as the shot hit from Jaiswal was quite hard.

The former Indian batsman remarked:

Ball was going slow, I don’t think Kohli would’ve been runout. It was Jaiswal’s call. Maybe a risky run but he was at the danger end, not Kohli. It was a schoolboy error from Virat that he looked back and decided it wasn’t a run. If it was a bad call from Jaiswal, he would’ve gotten out at the non-striker’s end…

Meanwhile, Irfan pathan defended Virat Kohli by saying that Kohli probably wans’t confident taking the run as he saw how fast the ball went to the fielder, Pat Cummins. The former India all-rounder also maintained that as a non-striker, Virat also has the right to turn down a run if he feels it is risky.
