Virat Kohli's struggle in Perth has everyone speculating about his cricketing fate, from retirement calls to bizarre memes! 🍿🏏

The much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy kicked off in Perth, but it quickly turned into a nightmare for India's batting superstar, Virat Kohli. After weeks of hype around his performance, fans were eager to see if Kohli could channel his inner champion. Unfortunately, he fell flat in the first innings, scoring a mere five runs. The moment was surreal, with Kohli stepping out of the crease only to be denied by a rising delivery from pacer Josh Hazlewood, leaving cricket enthusiasts gasping in disbelief. It certainly wasn't the "Kohli Show" everyone had hoped for.

The reactions were mixed across the cricketing community, with some fans resorting to social media to express their frustration. Comments ranged from sheer disbelief to light-hearted trolling, dubbing him 'Walking Wicket' after his early dismissal. Amid the intensity of the match, Kohli's ability to shake off such criticism became part of the larger narrative around the game. Former Indian fielding coach R. Sridhar, however, backed Kohli, emphasizing that the cricketer had faced similar pressures before and historically bounced back stronger. The support from his past allies paints a picture of hope amid the chaos.

But the situation is growing complicated for the former captain. With whispers of retirement trending louder - particularly following performances like this one - cricket fans can't help but speculate about what the future holds for Virat. His entry onto the field was still greeted with applause, a reminder of his past glory. Unfortunately, it seems the crowd’s cheers quickly morphed into concerned murmurs as India stumbled to an alarming score of 32/3 before Kohli even had a chance to establish himself at the crease. A number of ex-players and fans alike are getting nervous as they see their hero struggle against intense Australian bowling.

Amidst this tension, nostalgic memories of Virat Kohli’s splendid innings theatrically contrast his recent disappointments. Throwing it back to the 2018-19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, it’s amusing to recall how Adam Gilchrist's son chose Kohli’s bat over his iconic father's! It shows just how much Kohli has meant to fans, young and old. With a legendary future still uncharted, cricket lovers around the globe are keen to see whether Kohli will rise like a phoenix from the ashes or if we’re watching the beginning of the end for one of cricket's finest. So, is this the end or just another bumpy chapter for the king of Indian cricket? Time will tell!
