Watch: Virat Kohli hilariously trolls Mohammad Rizwan as the Pakistan star takes time to come at crease

Virat Kohli made a funny gesture towards Mohammad Rizwan during the IND-PAK clash in Ahmedabad.
The high-voltage clash of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 between India and Pakistan is underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The stadium is packed, and more than 100,000 fans are present at the venue. There was a pre-match musical ceremony ahead of the game. The match started with Indian captain Rohit Sharma winning the toss and asking Pakistan to bat first.
India made one change in the playing XI. Shubman Gill, who missed the first two games after suffering from dengue, was back in the team in place of Ishan Kishan. On the other hand, Pakistan had the same team that played against Sri Lanka in the last game. However, the start of the innings was in positive mode from both Pakistani openers. Both added 41 runs in 8 overs for the first wicket.
Virat Kohli trolls Mohammad Rizwan for taking too much time to come to the crease
Abdullah Shafique was the first man to go for Pakistan. He was adjudged LBW off Mohammed Siraj after scoring 20 runs. Pakistan then had a small 32-run stand for the second wicket with Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam. Imam was looking fluent and was punishing the bad balls for boundaries. But on the third ball of the 13th over, Hardik Pandya dismissed him.
Imam smashed Hardik for a boundary on the second ball, and Hardik looked pretty angry with that. He bowled a wide delivery on the next ball, which caught the edge, and KL Rahul completed the catch. However, Virat Kohli's moment was caught after that. Notably, Mohammed Rizwan took a bit of time to come to the crease, and Virat hilariously trolled him.
He looked at a fake watch on his wrist to taunt Rizwan, who took a long time. Even Rohit Sharma had a word with the umpire. However, the reaction of Virat Kohli was pretty funny. This game is very important for both teams, as both have won their opening matches. The team that wins this game will move closer to a place in the semi-final.
