Watch: Virat Kohli's Embarrassing Dismissal In 2nd Test Triggers Meme Fest

Star India batter Virat Kohli was dismissed for an 8-ball 7 in the first innings of the second Test against Australia in Adelaide on Friday. Fresh from smashing his 30th Test century last week in Perth, Kohli failed to deliver in the first installment of the pink-ball Test on Day 1, perishing against a short of length delivery from Mitchell Starc that rose sharply and caught him at slips. The dismissal was similar to his wicket in the 1st innings in Perth when Josh Hazlewood troubled him with a similar ball, inducing an inside edge that was gathered at slip.

Starc was at his best as he landed timely blows before the break as India squandered a promising start to reach 82 for four at tea.

That was after a 69-run stand between Rahul (37 off 64 balls) and Shubman Gill (31 off 51).

It got worse for India when Scott Boland had a well set Gill plumb in front with a full ball on the stumps. In a remarkable of turn events, India lost their last three wickets for 12 runs.
