Watch: Virat Kohli not happy with umpire's LBW decision after being given out off Roman Walker's bowling in practice match
Virat Kohli looked in good touch in the tour game against Leicestershire Foxes before being given out LBW by the umpire off Roman Walker's bowling on Day 1 on June 23 at Leicester.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. Sharma opened the innings with Shubman Gill, but both openers were back in the hut by the time the score reached 50. Hanuma Vihari and Shreyas Iyer followed them into the dressing room as India were down to 55/4.
Kohli then rebuilt the innings with Ravindra Jadeja and KS Bharat. He added 26 runs for the fifth wicket with Jadeja before stitching together a 57-run sixth-wicket partnership with Bharat. It seemed like Kohli would complete his half-century.
However, the former India captain was given out LBW off a delivery from uncapped player Roman Walker in the 41st over. Some fans thought that Virat Kohli was not out, but since there was no DRS available, the batter had to go back to the dressing room.
