After Virat Kohli took a fantastic catch to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne in the 32nd over of the first innings, Chopra took to Twitter for lauding the Indian skipper's vital contribution. However, one of his Twitter followers opined that Chopra was biased when he showered his praise upon the Indian skipper as batsman Manish Pandey had also taken a very athletic catch in the second ODI.
