A photograph of Virat Kohli attending the toss in shorts was posted on BCCI's Twitter handle.
Virat Kohli cannot stay away from controversy for too long. After his "leave India" remark snowballed into a controversy of late, the Indian captain has now stirred up a hornet's nest by wearing shorts for the toss of the ongoing warm-up Test team vs Cricket Australia match in Sydney. The photograph featuring Virat Kohli and CA XI captain Sam Whiteman was posted on Twitter by the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI), following which cricket fans chose to criticise Kohli for venturing out in such an outfit. Some of them dubbed it a "disrespectful act."
And here's how Twitter erupted:
During the match, Kohli (64) and teenage prodigy Prithvi Shaw (66) were among the five Indian batsmen who struck fifties before the visitors were bowled out for 358 on the second day of the match.
In response, Cricket Australia XI finished the day at 24-0 in four overs. For India, Cheteshwar Pujara (54), Ajinkya Rahane (56), and Hanuma Vihari (53) were the others to post half-centuries. Rain finally relented and the match got underway earlier in the morning with play extended to 98 overs for each of the remaining three days. Cricket Australia XI had won the toss and invited India to bat.
