Watch: Virat Kohli's Mix-Up With Rishabh Pant Deals India Big Blow, Internet Asks "Whose Fault?"

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was run out on duck after a mix-up with Virat Kohli on Day 3 of the ongoing second Test against New Zealand on Saturday. The incident happened in the 23rd over with India chasing a mammoth 359 target to level the series. Ajaz Patel bowled a good length ball to Kohli, who guided it towards short third man. Kohli looked at Pant, who was at non-striker's end, hoping to steal a single. Both trusted each other and went for the run. However, Mitchell Santner fired a throw towards the keeper's end and Tom Blundell did the rest. Pant seemed to be struggling despite making a desperate dive to get inside the crease.

The decision was referred to the third umpire and the replays confirmed that Pant was well short of the line when Blundell affected the run out.

Pant's unfortunate dismissal sparked a debate on social. While some blamed Pant for not refusing the single, others thought it was Kohli's fault.
