Virat Kohli fails again, Riyan Parag furious with netizens for 'Disrespectful' memes

After bundling out England for a paltry score of 205 on Day 1 of the India vs England 4th Test, the onus was on the Indian batsmen to fire with the bat. The early wickets of Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara dented the home team's chances of attaining a positive start, and surprisingly skipper Virat Kohli also failed to make an impact. The prominent batter was dismissed by Ben Stokes for a duck and was also targeted by a certain section of fans on social media for his failure.
