Pakistani Fans Troll Kohli's Duck in ICC World Cup 2023 Match Against England, Rejoice With Memes

Pakistani fans who have had very little to cheer about for Babar Azam’s team so far in the ICC World Cup 2023 took solace in the fact that Virat Kohli was dismissed for a rare duck against England at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

After Shubman Gill’s early departure, Kohli walked out in the middle scoring no run in the first 8 deliveries he faced. Looking to break the shackles, the star batter played a loose shot and ended up giving a straightforward catch to Ben Stokes. England’s left-arm quick David Willey rejoiced as India, put in to bat first by Jos Buttler, were left struggling at 27/2 under 7 overs.

While Indian cricket fans watched in disbelief, fans from cricket-rival nation Pakistan gathered on social media to “celebrate” Virat Kohli’s duck.

David Willey and Chris Woakes kept their lines tight, forcing Kohli to open the face of his bat to the onside, only for his evergreen cover drives to be abrupting stopped by the likes of a Dawid Malan, who threw his bod at every last ball that came his way. The tension kept on building as Kohli struggled to get off the mark and with one fine delivery, England had their breakthrough.

Kohli is just one century away from equalling all-time great Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI record of 49 hundreds.

Kohli has 354 runs to his name in the ongoing tournament in India. The 34-year-old star batter has 3 fifties and 1 ton to his name and is amongst the leading run scorers in ICC World Cup 2023 at the time of writing this.
