During the high-octane ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, former Indian skipper Virat Kohli subtly addressed a prolonged delay by Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan at the crease.
Virat Kohli’s light-hearted dig at Muhammad Rizwan
Rizwan’s slow approach to batting seemed to prompt Kohli to humorously mimic checking his imaginary wristwatch as a light-hearted dig at the extended time taken by Rizwan to prepare between deliveries.
Kohli’s playful gesture captured the attention of both the Ahmedabad crowd and viewers worldwide, adding an element of amusement to the intense cricketing battle between the arch-rivals. Additionally, the Indian team captain Rohit Sharma was seen engaging in discussions with the on-field umpires, presumably addressing the situation involving Rizwan’s slow play.

Some banter going on. Rizwan takes his time in marking his guard. Rohit has a word with the umpire.

India holds an edge over Pakistan in World Cup matches
Talking about India versus Pakistan encounters at the ODI World Cups, India have beaten Pakistan on all seven occasions. Considering the T20 World Cups also, the tally stands at 13-1 in favour of India.
Pakistan are determined to improve this record and are encouraged by their recent triumphant pursuit against Sri Lanka, successfully chasing down the 345-run target at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Nonetheless, India are also brimming with confidence following their comprehensive wins over Australia and Afghanistan in the ongoing tournament.
