The Indian skipper Virat Kohli has always been known for his aggression on the field as he is often seen showing his passion whenever a bowler bags a wicket. Not only for his own efforts but Virat wildly cheers his teammates’ efforts too. Rather recently, Mohammed Shami revealed that he ends up asking Kohli “was it my wicket or yours?” as the latter often celebrates more than the bowlers. The Indian fast bowler went onto say that his skipper has even questioned him for not celebrating enough after wickets.

Virat Kohli is known for his aggressive celebration

Even as it may not look justified to many, the passionate Kohli often ends up in him using expletives during his celebrational mood. Unlike the old days, when there were much lesser cameras covering the live on-field action, there are hundreds of technological eyes watching every cricketer for the entirety of the games in the modern-day.

Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer is well-known for his funny and witty social media presence. Be it giving some hints to Team India in codewords, sharing apt memes to describe cricket situations, giving cheeky replies, Jaffer has earned a name for himself as a Twitter sensation in the recent past.

Wasim Jaffer lived up to that reputation again when Wisden India recently asked everyone to name a player that they would love to see in the Indian team had international transfers been allowed in cricket on Twitter. Wisden’s tweet read: “If international transfers were allowed in cricket, which player would you have loved to see in the Indian Test team?”

Revealing his choice cheekily, Jaffer used Kohli’s infamous GIF where his lip movement resonates with the pronunciation of Ben Stokes. Unsurprisingly, Jaffer’s hilarious take left one and all in splits. Meanwhile, Team India is gearing up to travel to the United Kingdom for the upcoming final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand, followed by a 5-match Test series against England, where both Kohli and Stokes will be in action.
