In the ICC T20 World Cup’s Super 12 stage, Virat Kohli was relieved to learn that he had won the toss ahead of India’s match against Scotland. As a result of Kohli losing his last three tosses in a row, the Indian team was always asked to start the game on the front foot. India suffered crushing defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand in the first two matches at Dubai, and while India couldn’t bring their best game to the park on both occasions, the dew and the toss did play a significant role. However, India’s last match against Afghanistan was held in Abu Dhabi, and the result was favorable for the Indians.
On Friday, the luck of the draw was on Kohli’s side and he decided to bowl first in the Scotland match in Dubai. Observe that Kohli won the toss on his 33rd birthday, which is a notable fact. On being asked if winning the toss on his birthday made him feel any better, Kohli joked that he should have played his first game instead.
“We’re going to start with the bowling. The dew will play a big role. Restriction and pursuit are your best bets. When I threw for the first time on my birthday, I probably should have started the game “Kohli made the comment.
During Kohli’s birthday, social media couldn’t keep its cool as he finally won the coin toss. Here are a few of the funniest tweets about it:
