India vs Leicestershire: On the first day of the warm-up match against Leicestershire, Virat Kohli became the victim of fast bowler Roman Walker after spending a good time on the pitch. The way he was frozen at the crease, it seemed that maybe he was going to play a big innings but at the same time 21-year-old Roman showed him the way to the pavilion. Kohli was given lbw. However, he appeared unhappy with the umpire’s decision.
Leicestershire has posted a video of Virat Kohli’s wicket falling on social media. It is seen in this video that as soon as Roman Walker’s ball hit Kohli’s pad, the players of Leicestershire made a strong appeal. However, Kohli remained standing on the pitch. He was just looking at the umpire when the finger was raised. Kohli was shocked by this decision. He stood on the pitch for some time. He also talked to the umpire about this but after that he had to return to the pavilion. Virat Kohli scored 33 runs off 69 balls.
