New Delhi: Legendary former Indian Cricketer Sunil Gavaskar got a bit too excited while praising Kohli for his splendid knock against New Zealand in the semi-final of ICC World Cup 2023.

Another one commented, “I thought I heard it wrong yesterday but I was right.” A third one wrote, ” I think he said khela tha.”

For the unversed, Virat Kohli took Lasith Malinga on remand and played a match-winning unbeaten knock of 133 runs against Sri Lanka in the Commonwealth Bank’s tri-series that was played between Sri Lanka, India and Australia.
