IND vs PAK: Virat Kohli’s Cheap Dismissal Shocks Fans

Fans on X were shocked to witness Virat Kohli losing his wicket for just 4 runs in the match. Just after his dismissal, Kohli became a trending topic on X.

While Indian fans showed their disappointment for Kohli, Pakistan fans lauded Shaheen Afridi on X. Have a look at some of the posts below.

 

Shaheen Afridi wreaked havoc from India’s top order. He dismissed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli cheaply to give a big blow to India’s batting order at the start. The left-arm pacer bowled both of them.

Kohli was highly expected to come up with a good show in the match as he played a match-winning knock against Pakistan in the previous clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. With quick dismissals of Sharma and Kohli, Pakistan has managed to get a good start in the match.
