Ind Vs Pak: Pakistani Legend Waqar Younis Roasts Virat Kohli After Shaheen Takes His Wicket, ‘You’re Gone’

In the highly anticipated Asia Cup 2023 opener between India and Pakistan, cricket fans around the world were eagerly awaiting a trademark Virat Kohli masterclass. However, their hopes were quickly dashed as the Indian batting icon failed to make a substantial impact, succumbing to the relentless pace attack of Pakistan.

After a rain delay, the game resumed in the fifth over, and India found themselves in a bit of a predicament. Captain Rohit Sharma, who had earlier led from the front, was dismissed in the final delivery of the fifth over. Shaheen Shah Afridi, the formidable Pakistani pacer, delivered a length ball that proved to be Rohit’s undoing. Failing to connect, the ball nipped past his defense and crashed into the off-stump.

In the seventh over of the innings, Shaheen delivered a short-of-a-length delivery outside off, tempting Kohli to punch it through the off-side. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, Kohli ended up inside-edging the ball onto his own stumps.

The dismissal sent shockwaves through the cricketing fraternity, and Kohli’s reaction mirrored the disappointment felt by fans worldwide. Even Pakistan legend Waqar Younis, who was commentating on the match, couldn’t resist adding some salt to the wound. He remarked, “You can watch it on replay, but you’re gone, Virat.” Take a look at Virat’s wicket.

Kohli’s early exit left India in a precarious position, struggling at 27/1. As the Asia Cup 2023 unfolds, the cricketing world will be watching closely to see how India regroups and whether their middle order can rise to the occasion. In the game of cricket, fortunes can change rapidly, and fans hope that the Indian team can stage a comeback in this crucial encounter against their arch-rivals.
