India captain Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's reactions to fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah's delivery misled the fans on social media. A picture from ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final is doing rounds on social media in which Rohit can be seen appreciating the bowler, while Kohli looks a little disappointed.

Twitterati assumed it in the wrong way and felt Rohit is appreciating Bumrah, and on the other hand, Kohli is not happy with his bowling effort. However, it turned out that Kohli was telling Bumrah that the batsman has hit the ball, while the pacer appealed for an LBW and was looking for DRS.

Bumrah was wicketless on the third day of the ongoing WTC final as New Zealand lost only two wickets for 101 runs at stumps. Team India posted a total of 217 runs in their first innings and Ajinkya Rahane was the top scorer with 49 runs.
