IND vs NZ, 3rd Test: India's star batter Virat Kohli was seen getting mad at himself after he was run out during the third and the last Test match against New Zealand in Mumbai. Kohli committed an error in his judgment as he fell short of the non-striker's end after Matt Henry attempted a direct hit at stumps on Day 1 in Mumbai.
Kohli started his inning by smashing a brilliant four the ball wet towards mid-wicket as Rachin Ravindra bowled a juicy full-toss. At one point it looked like Kohli might stay at the crease till stumps but he was dismissed soon after and left the hosts reeling.
The incident happened during the third ball of the 19th over as Kohli risked taking a single in Rachin Ravindra's over. Henry, who was standing at mid-on, showed quick reflexes and threw the ball directly towards the stumps. Kohli did try to dive but fell short of reaching the crease on time.
