IND vs PAK: "Big match chokers" - Twitter brutally trolls Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as they fail against Pakistan

India are off to a disastrous start in the ongoing game against Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The arch-rivals are facing each other in the 19th game of the competition at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and opted to bowl first and it did not take his bowlers long to justify the decision. In overcast conditions, Pakistan's pacers gave their team a brilliant start. In the second over, Naseem Shah dismissed Virat Kohli for just four to give Pakistan the first breakthrough.

Kohli failed to get going with the bat for the second game in a row in the tournament. The former India skipper was out for just 1 run off 5 balls in the first game against Ireland. He had the opportunity to bounce back in the ongoing game but failed to get going.

Kohli was facing severe criticism from several quarters for not playing in the warm-up game against Bangladesh before the start of the tournament and his twin failures will invite more criticism for him.

Soon after Kohli's departure, Rohit Sharma departed as well. The India skipper, who had scored a match-winning fifty in the previous game against Ireland, started well by hitting Shaheen Afridi for a six in the very first over. However, he could not last long and was dismissed by Afridi only in the third over. The India opener departed after scoring 13 runs with the help of a six and four.

Here are some of the reactions to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's failure against Pakistan:

- Rohit Sharma was out of form.
- Kohli was in his prime IPL form.

But still Rohit Sharma performed better. p<!---->i<!---->c<!---->.<!---->t<!---->w<!---->i<!---->t<!---->t<!---->e<!---->r<!---->.<!---->c<!---->o<!---->m<!---->/<!---->A<!---->T<!---->q<!---->g<!---->Q<!---->q<!---->Z<!---->1<!---->Q<!---->B

Worst decision by mngmt to play kohli at opening he's the best at no 3 and ind should open with Rohit and jaiswal you're just exposing your two most important players in the powerplay with overcast conditions and openers are losing wicket because of intent. #<!---->I<!---->N<!---->D<!---->v<!---->s<!---->P<!---->A<!---->K #<!---->T<!---->2<!---->0<!---->I<!---->W<!---->C #<!---->v<!---->k

Stop throwing your wicket Kohli, leave the IPL approach. Can't watch you ruin your T20 WC legacy like this.
