Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli on July 28 took to Twitter to share a 'throwback' picture from the time when he could climb a tree and chill. In the picture, Virat can be seen sitting on top of a tree and posing as if he is watching something. The post in no time garnered more than 70,000 likes and over 3,700 reactions. Netizens were quick to flood the post with jokes and memes with some even asking the right-handed batsman hilarious questions. Among people who poked fun at the post was former India international Irfan Pathan, who asked his junior was he trying to watch a game.
Meanwhile, a netizen jokingly wrote, "Gir mat jana chiku abhi IPL bhi jitna h," referring to Virat's nickname from the Indian dressing room. Another user shared a famous meme from the Indian web series Mirzapur, saying "when Anushka want mangoes right from the tree Virat be like." Some also highlighted the fact that his Indian Premier League (IPL) side Royal Challengers Bangalore has never won the trophy and hoped that the striker will do it this year.
Virat's next outing
Virat will next be seen leading his side in the Indian Premier League (IPL) that is scheduled to take place from September 19 onwards in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The IPL which was earlier scheduled for March this year was postponed indefinitely in wake of coronavirus pandemic. But after the International Cricket Council (ICC) cancelled this year's T20 World Cup, the BCCI took the opportunity to announce the cash-rich tournament to be conducted in the same period of time. Virat will be hoping to win the title for his team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) this season as it is yet to win the coveted trophy despite reaching finals on a couple of occasions.
