Team India star Virat Kohli had a bad day with the bat yesterday as he got out for 11 runs. However, there was one extraordinary incident that was associated with the dismissal of Kohli in the first innings.
New Zealand gun filler Glenn Phillips took a breathtaking catch in the point region to dismiss Kohli early innings. This could easily be the catch of the tournament, and quite literally everyone in the stadium, including Kohli himself was stunned by the field effort.
Incidentally, this brilliant field from Glenn Phillips created a new discourse on social media as this anguished Virat Kohli’s fans who took a peculiar path to express their anger.
In an attempt to vent out their anger, a section of Kohli’s fans started commenting under “Philips” electrical appliances company’s Instagram posts and started abusing them.
We don’t know if Kohli’s fans got confused with Philips electrical company’s Instagram account for Glenn Philips’s account and started abusing them, or if this was a funny campaign meant for laughter. Nevertheless, Philips company’s Instagram handle was loaded with abuses from Kohli’s fans as they vented out at Philips for his blinder of a catch to dismiss Kohli.
This quickly became a funny topic of conversation on social media and shows the kind of cricket frenzy nation that India is.
