The catch was comfortably taken by Ben Stokes at mid-off, leaving Kohli visibly upset.
Following his untimely exit from the game, a video capturing Kohli’s frustration surfaced on social media. In the video, Kohli could be seen venting his frustration by punching the dressing room sofa, highlighting the intensity of his disappointment.
