Virat Kohli, playing his 100th Test match, looked in good touch as he came in to bat this morning. Virat has been in a century drought for two years, and everyone expected him to get a hundred in this match. Unfortunately, he was dismissed at 45 by left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya. This left everyone in shock including the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma.
Batting along with Hanuma Vihari, Virat Kohli looked good and did not play many unforced shots. The two added 90 runs on the board before Virat was dismissed on 45. Embuldeniya bowled quick and flat as he cleared Virat Kohli's off stump. Virat Kohli was shocked after the dismissal.
Along with Virat Kohli, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was also shocked as the former was moving back to the dressing room. His reaction instantly went viral, with many fans sharing the same on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the relationship between the current and the former Indian captain has been questioned multiple times. However, the duo has always denied any rift between them. Rohit Sharma's reaction to Virat's wicket is proof of that.
Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, started well but could not capitalize on his innings. He hit a few pull shots for fours but that did not make a difference as he got out in the same way. He scored 29 before he fell to Lahiru Kumara playing the pull shot. Rohit scored 29 runs in 28 balls and hit 4 fours in his innings. This is Rohit Sharma's first match as the Test captain and he would want to make the most out of it.
