The master of the bat Virat Kohli made a mysterious Instagram post following India's humiliating loss to Australia in the World Test Championship Final on Sunday. Team India put on a poor performance in the one-off Test, failing to push Pat Cummins and company at the Oval, London, throughout the game. Australis dominated the Asian Giants in all three departments in a one-sided battle to take possession of the magnificent mace.

A few hours after India's failed bid to win the World Test Championship, Kohli shared an Instagram story with a philosophical phrase that made it appear a little cryptic. Kohli posted a quotation on his social media account that said, "Silence is the source of great strength."

Kohli was expected to lead the side across the finish line, but the king of the chase was removed for 49 by Scott Boland after being hit by a screamer from Steve Smith. As Australia won the match by 209 runs, India experienced a collapse as they were bowled out before the lunch break for failing to recover.

Kohli has already shared a mysterious Instagram tale during the WTC final. “If we have too many worries, fears, and doubts, we have no room for living and loving. We need to practice letting go," the 34-year-old wrote in a note uploaded on his Instagram account following Day 4's game.

India had only themselves to blame for yet another defeat in a major competition because Australia was obviously the superior team on all fronts. India won its previous final back in 2013, which marked their second straight loss in the World Test Championship final after losing to New Zealand two years prior.

On the final day, India lost seven wickets for an additional 70 runs. While R Ashwin's exclusion from the team generated a lot of discussion on the first day, India's star-studded batting lineup was mostly to blame for their team's loss in the coveted final match.
