Virat Kohli wins toss on his 33rd birthday for the first time in the ongoing T20 World Cup in the match against Scotland. And, Twitter go crazy about this ‘rare’ incident.
Virat Kohli has been one of the unlucky cricket captains when it comes to winning toss. And there have been times when toss has become a major factor to win a game. In this T20 World Cup 2021, teams winning toss have had the advantage from the beginning. On the other hand, India did not just lose their first two matches of the tournament, their captain Kohli lost toss in first three matches. On Friday, against Scotland Virat Kohli has won the toss for the first time in the conveted event this year and social media cannot stop talking about it.
Today is also the 33rd birthday of the Indian cricket team captain so the toss moment also makes him one of those captains winning it on their birthdays more than once. The list has names like Vivian Richards and Graeme Smith apart from Kohli. Kohli winning toss is a rare occasion for the fans and hence they cannot insist how the date has worked for him too.
Oho, Kohli wins toss as a birthday present! I was readying to see India bat first and aim for another 200-plus score. Chalo, now bowlers have opportunity to set up win
