IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 2: Why is Retire Trending With Virat Kohli on X After Yashasvi Jaiswal's Run Out?

IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 2: After the much-debated shoulder-brushing incident involving Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas in the IND vs AUS Test match, the King Kohli is again in the spotlight. This time, it’s after the mix-up that led to Yashasvi Jaiswal's run-out during the IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 2. Jaiswal, who was playing brilliantly at 82 runs, fell victim to a miscommunication, sparking a heated debate on social media. As a result, the hashtags Virat Kohli and retire began trending on X. Let’s uncover why this controversy erupted.

What Led to Yashasvi Jaiswal's Run Out?

The incident unfolded during the 41st over when Yashasvi Jaiswal, facing Scott Boland, drove a full delivery to Pat Cummins positioned at mid-on. Jaiswal, eager to grab a quick single, set off immediately. However, at the non-striker’s end, Virat Kohli closely monitored the fielder and signaled against the run. By the time Kohli’s concerns were clear, Jaiswal had already crossed to the other end.

Although Cummins missed a direct hit, Alex Carey, standing behind the stumps, quickly collected the ball and dislodged the bails, leaving Jaiswal run-out. The mix-up cost India dearly, as Jaiswal was the top scorer in the innings at that point.

We shouldn't look at saving follow on as a win every time. Team India loses a bunch of wickets every time after any good partnership is the reason they are losing matches. From 153/2 to 164/5. #INDvsAUS #Rohit #ViratKohli #retire #Austrlianbowling #BCCI pic.twitter.com/kDFuIgXMi0
