It was not really a day today for Virat Kohli when he came to bat against Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing 32nd match of the Indian Premier League 2023. He went back to the pavilion on a golden duck on the very first ball of the match of the senior Rajasthan Royals pacer Trent Boult.
Subsequently, the social media admin of Rajasthan Royals didn’t miss this chance to troll Kohli on the micro-blogging site Twitter. A tweet was shared at the official Twitter handle of Rajasthan Royals taking a dig at Virat Kohli’s golden duck with an image of his dismissal against Boult during the semi-final of the ODI World Cup 2023.
Although this dig taken by Rajasthan Royals didn’t go down well with the fans of RCB and Virat Kohli; they immediately took to Twitter and lashed out at the RR franchise.
Here’s how fans reacted:
you guys really deserve another 2 years ban
