Josh Hazlewood dismissed the set batsman KL Rahul in the 25th over for 44 runs off 67 balls during India's second innings on Day three in the ongoing first Test against the hosts at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday.
The dismissal meant the new man in would be Virat Kohli. When the Indian skipper made his way into the middle, he was booed by the Adelaide crowd.
The Indian fans did not keep quiet and expressed their thoughts on social media without any hesitance. Here are some of the tweets:
Ecstatic at Kohli being booed in Adelaide.. Sets the series up for another absolute dominance of the Emperor

Kohli was his usual animated self on Day two of the at the Adelaide Oval on Friday as he celebrated every Australian wicket with enthusiasm.
Australian head coach Justin Langer said he "loved seeing that passion" but said Australia players would be judged differently if they did the same.
"If we did that at the moment we'd be the worst blokes in the world. It's a fine line, isn't it? That's the truth of it. But I love seeing the passion," Langer added.
Earlier in the first session, the rain kept interrupting the match and that would have irked the players but there was one man who ensured he kept himself entertained.
The Indian captain was seen dancing while fielding at the slip to keep himself entertained.
The official Twitter handle of Cricket Australia took to Twitter and posted the video, captioned, " Virat’s loving it… #AUSvIND."
