One of the most talked about moments of India vs Pakistan match at the 2019 Cricket World Cup played in Manchester on Sunday was Virat Kohli's dismissal.
Pakistan wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed caught the Indian skipper behind the wickets on the 4th ball of 48th over during the game.
Kohli was playing at 77 when Mohammad Amir balled a quick bouncer.
The ball flew over Kohli's head and in an attempt to pull it to fine leg, Kohli waved his bat above. It appeared as if the ball got the edge and landed in Ahmed's gloves.
Pakistani players appealed but umpire Marais Erasmus was not convinced.

Kohli, however, did not wait for a decision but walked off the field.
The replays showed there was no sound and the ball never touched the bat.
It is believed Kohli may have given himself out due to noise from a 'clicking' bat handle. Visuals from the dressing room suggested he was not pleased after he saw the replays where snicko showed no spike.
English broadcaster Piers Morgan later joked on Twitter about Kohli's non-dismissal.
"BREAKING: V Kohli finally encounters someone who can get him out – himself," Morgan tweeted.
The Indian team was at a very comfortable position with 314 runs in 48th over when Kohli got out. Another 22 runs were added by Kedar Jadhav and Vijay Shankar to the score posting a total of 336 runs.
Pakistan lost the match by 89 runs (D/L).
Kohli was all praise for his teammates after the victory against Pakistan.
"It has been really nice. Rohit's knock was outstanding. KL set a good foundation. It was a team effort," Kohli told media after the match.
Indian sportspersons, politicians and Bollywood celebrities congratulated Indian team for their victory against the Pakistani team.
