'But Kohli ne Test mei mehdi laggae hui thi' - Fans troll Virat Kohli as Mehidy Hasan posts photo with Indian batter

Former Indian skipper and senior batter Virat Kohli is once again on the receiving end of trolls from a section of Indian cricket fans. Notably, the 35-year-old was miserably in both matches of the recently concluded two-match Test series against Bangladesh. He could score only 45 runs in four innings of the both Chattogram and Mirpur Test respectively.

Meanwhile, the star Bangladesh all-rounder happened to post a photograph with the veteran Delhi batter. Kohli was seen gifting his jersey to Mehidy, the latter captioned the post as, “Special souvenir from one of the greatest cricketers Virat Kohli.”

Although some of the Indian cricket fans took it as an opportunity to take a dig over Kohli’s recent poor run of form with the bat in the series against Bangladesh. They took to Twitter to lash out at the veteran of 72 international centuries.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Earlier, Virat Kohli completed his 72^nd international century in the third and last of the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh.  He surpassed the former Aussie great Ricky Ponting to become the second batter in the world with the highest number of international centuries. He is now only behind the former legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar who had 100 international centuries to his name.

Now, the former skipper could be in action with the Indian team in the upcoming home series against Sri Lanka starting from the 3^rd of January.

Following the conclusion of the series against Sri Lanka, India will also host New Zealand in a white-ball assignment.

Apart from that, the upcoming season of cricket is going to be very hectic for the Indian team as they will lock horns with Australia in a full-fledged four-match Test series against Australia in February next year.
