“Virat Kohli Talking To Himself”, Twitter Reacts To Virat’s Comments Caught On Stump Mic While Batting In The Second T20I

Team India won the second T20I encounter against West Indies. With this, the Rohit Sharma-led squad has also sealed the T20I series. One of the positives of the game was Virat Kohli returning to form. He had been struggling to score against West Indies so far. However, he made 52 (41) runs and helped India stabilize after a shaky start. Virat Kohli looked motivated at the Eden Gardens on Friday and this helped him do well. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to Virat’s comments caught on stump mic while batting in the second T20I.

Virat’s comments caught on stump mic

Coming into the second T20I, Virat Kohli had not got a substantial score. However, he started well, showed intent, and although he struggled in the middle, Virat did help India tackle the tricky start. Meanwhile, the stump mic has provided some entertainment to the fans at the Eden Gardens. With fans not adding too much noise to the atmosphere, the comments and conversations of the cricketers are adding flavour to the proceedings. While Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant have already had their words go viral, this time, it was Virat Kohli’s turn to evoke reactions on social media.

Odean Smith bowled a wide, and Virat Kohli got frustrated with himself for not playing it. Had he just touched it, the ball could have run away to the boundary. After missing it, Virat Kohli said to himself, “Yaar Cheeks come on Yaar!”. It is well known that “Cheeku” is Virat’s nickname and interestingly, as per the clip, Virat also uses this name to address himself.

Did I just hear @imVkohli say to himself ‘Cheeks come on yaar’.
He was unhappy with himself cause he couldn’t put away a bad ball.
