Experience can never be learned, it can only be earned, and in Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul, India possesses the experience of over 200 Test caps. As it turns out, even such veterans are not immune to brainfades and unfortunately for India, it arrived at a crucial moment on Thursday.

India succumbed to the lowest ever score in the subcontinent in Test cricket history on Thursday after collapsing for 46 all-out against New Zealand at the Chinnaswamy stadium. Matt Henry and William O'Rourke were architects in chief of the decimation as they scalped five and four wickets respectively to fold out the hosts shortly after Lunch and set the stage for the batters to make merry with the sun peeking from behind the clouds for the first time in the encounter. Devon Conway and Tom Latham obliged, racking up 44 runs in the first 12 overs before the Men in Blue finally managed to produce a serious chance only for it to go begging.

Mohammed Siraj had the ball in hand and bowled a peach to Latham in the channel whose lazy push led to a thick outside edge. The ball screamed towards the slips but much to everyone's disbelief, it passed straight through the cordon and away to the boundary. The replays showed that Virat Kohli at first slip leaned to his right, expecting KL Rahul at second slip to do the honours, while the Karnataka batter leaned to his right thinking quite the opposite and thus the duo created the perfect window for the SG to sail away harmlessly. 

Rahul was left with his eyes wide agao and arms aflail, much like a shocked Kohli even though the ball flew closer to the former. Twitterati was no different.

Oh hell no!
