Ranchi

On the opening day, Kohli was left clutching his right shoulder in pain after he dived while fielding at the mid-on area and later scans revealed that he had suffered a strain and missed fielding action for 400 minutes the entire day two. 

Maxwell, who had struck a brilliant hundred on Friday, was seen mocking Kohli’s injury when he replicated the Indian skipper’s action by clutching his right shoulder after his dive to save a boundary in the 81st over. 

Pujara had played a fine flick through the mid-on off Pat Cummins and Maxwell gave a fine chase at the deep, exactly in the same region where Kohli had that awkward dive to injure his right shoulder in the post-lunch session of day one. 

During the Bangalore Test, Kohli had stopped just short of labelling Smith a “cheat” after the Australian skipper was caught looking up to the dressing room for help for a DRS call after being caught lbw.
