Hyderabad: The Indian team had a disappointing start to the three-match T20 series against Australia as they lost the first game on Tuesday. However, Virat Kohli has been trending on the internet for his goofy expression to Umesh Yadav during the match.
For the first match in Mohali, Australia chased down a 209-run target against the Indian team and raced to 211 for six in 19.2 overs, courtesy opener Cameron Green’s blistering knock of 61 runs off 30 balls.
In the second over of Australia’s chase, Green smacked Yadav for four fours in the first four deliveries. When Green smacked the second four past the bowler, cameras caught Kohli looking worried and shell-shocked.
Cricket lovers soon took to Twitter and made a meme fest out of his expression. Even legendary West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop reacted to the incident and wrote, “I can see that Virat Kohli look becoming a meme.”
