India vs Australia 3rd Test Melbourne: The incident involving Cheteshwar Pujara and India captain Virat Kohli happened in the 120th over of the 3rd Test. Kohli flicked an overpitched ball from Pat Cummins to the leg side and while the skipper took off for the run, Pujara, who is not that quick between the wickets was lagging behind. Kohli was looking for the fourth run but found Pujara had not even made the third run and was just not interested in coming back for a fourth. It was a moment in the match that made fans laugh as they took to Twitter to react on it and it was as hilarious as it gets.Also Read - BCCI Central Contract: Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara To Be Retained In Grade A Category?

Here are the comments.
Kohli and Pujara stitched together an invaluable 170-run partnership to help India get to the driver’s seat.
Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara has hardly put a foot wrong during his another incredible knock in India’s ongoing tour to Australia. Pujara displayed zen-like focus, exuded brilliant confidence and showed unmatched determination as he slammed his 17th Test hundred in the third Test against Australia at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday. With this knock, Pujara also completed the milestone of scoring 2000 Test runs away from home.
At stumps, Australia were placed at 8 for no loss from 6 overs with openers Aaron Finch and Marcus Harris were both unbeaten on 3 and 5 respectively. India lead by 435 runs.
