The roaring anti-climax
With the pitch beginning to embrace spinners, Kohli waltzed into the middle keeping a close eye on the likes of Santner and company. The crowd were soon up on their feet as a loose delivery from the left-arm spinner was dispatched towards the fence without any fuss.
The crescendo got louder after a short ball from Neil Wagner was helped on its way to the boundary. When the roof of the stadium found itself in considerable strife owing to the delirious atmosphere, a nasty bouncer from the wholehearted pacer climbed up alarmingly at the Indian captain. An eerie silence akin to a cemetery at midnight engulfed the arena as Kohli walked back leaving the spectators in dismay.
