Once the young Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant surpassed the Indian skipper Virat Kohli in the aggregated runs in the ongoing Test series on the Australian soil, the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise team Mumbai Indians (MI) tried to troll the Indian skipper. However, the Twitteraties have trolled back Mumbai Indians and their skipper Rohit Sharma.
Playing seven innings in the ongoing Test series, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli has scored 282 runs with an average of 40.28, including one century and one half-century.

On the other hand, while Pant played some 20s and 30s knocks in this Test series, the left-hander played a massive century knock on Friday during the day two of the Sydney Test match. He scored his second Test century on Friday as he remained unbeaten on 159 runs off 189 balls (15 fours and only six). With that knock, Pant is now standing as the second leading run-scorer in this series by scoring 350 runs in seven innings with the average of 58.33, just behind of another batsman Cheteshwar Pujara (scored 521 runs with the average of 74.42).

Once Pant surpassed Kohli’s aggregated runs in the ongoing Test series as he was batting on 94 runs, Mumbai Indians posted on their official Twitter account, “25, 28, 36, 30, 39, 33, 94*. Believe it or not, Rishabh Pant (285) now has more runs than Virat Kohli (282) in this series #CricketMeriJaan #AUSvIND”

Virat Kohli is the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) while Rishabh Pant is the regular player of Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). However, the three-time IPL champions MI decided to troll the Indian skipper Kohli but the Twitteraties didn’t take it lightly as they trolled back the popular IPL franchise.
