Tristan Stubbs brutally mocks Tabraiz Shamsi after the latter showers praise on Virat Kohli

Young South Africa batter Tristan Stubbs humorously teased his teammate Tabraiz Shamsi after Shamsi's reaction to Virat Kohli’s impressive six off Haris Rauf.

Notably, the International Cricket Council (ICC) hailed Virat Kohli's six against Haris Rauf in the 2022 T20 World Cup as the 'Shot of the Century'.

Virat Kohli hit a crucial six over the bowler's head when India needed 28 runs from the last eight balls.

The batter then smashed another six off Haris Rauf to reduce the target to 16 runs in the final over. Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, secured a victory on the last ball of the match in Melbourne.

The right-handed batter was named Player of the Match for his performance in a high-octane encounter.

Kohli scored an unbeaten 82 runs off 53 balls, including four sixes and six boundaries, to help the team finish the line. However, the Men in Blue failed to clinch the title in that tournament.

"He had no business hitting THAT BALL over the bowler's head for 6! Unreal Shot!” Shamsi wrote.
