IND v AFG: Virat Kohli’s expression after India lost its DRS review is now a hilarious meme

When Mohammad Shami's ball to Hazratullah Zazai marginally pitched outside the leg-stump, India asked for a review. Although Virat Kohli lost the DRS review, his expression won the Internet and is the fodder for the latest desi meme.

Virat Kohli’s gesture struck a chord with desi meme-makers online who are using his photo in hilarious yet relatable situations.

It was a gripping match between India and Afghanistan on Saturday at the ICC World Cup 2019. However, Indian captain Virat Kohli’s expressions became a talking point online, particularly the one where India lost its Decision Review System (DRS) review.

While Afghanistan was chasing a modest target, Mohammed Shami, playing his first match of the tournament, gave India its first chance for a wicket when he tried to dismiss dangerous opener Hazratullah Zazai. However, the umpire did not respond to the LBW appeal. Kohli then asked for a DRS review, but it went in Afghanistan’s favour as the ball had pitched just outside leg stump line.
