It is a rare occurrence to witness Virat Kohli taking up the role of a bowler, especially in high-stakes events like World Cup matches or One Day Internationals (ODIs). The renowned cricket superstar, primarily celebrated for his batting prowess, has now decided to showcase his skills as a bowler.
Although Virat Kohli has bowled in World Cup matches on previous occasions, it’s noteworthy that this marks his first foray into bowling during a non-knockout match.
In prior World Cups, he had delivered some overs against Australia in the 2011 World Cup, in the 2011 World Cup Final against Sri Lanka, and in the 2015 World Cup semi-final against Australia. Now, in the 2023 World Cup, he once again wielded the ball against Bangladesh.
This unique development has generated considerable excitement among fans eager to see Virat Kohli showcasing his bowling abilities. Let’s explore the reactions of the public to this surprising twist:

During the 9th over of India’s World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh in Pune, the star batsman found himself taking on the role of a bowler. This unusual occurrence came about when Hardik Pandya, who was originally handling the bowling duties, suffered an injury during his first over in the match. Virat Kohli stepped up to the challenge and delivered three deliveries, conceding just two runs in the process.
