In the third ODI against Australia in Ranchi, Virat Kohli made his 41st century, shuttering records and garnering praises from every corner. People applauded him for his consistency and the whole cricket fraternity could not be more proud.
The Twitter family, especially Indian cricket fans lashed out at England batsman Ben Duckett when he called Virat Kohli ‘a joke’, even though he made a stunning 123 against Australia in the third ODI match. He brought the chase on track for that game.
This all started when a cricket based over enthusiastic Twitter account, Cricket Shouts posted a question for it’s followers, after India’s defeat in the fourth match of the ODI against Australia. They wanted their followers to describe Virat Kohli using a word.
Complete the sentence.

To this, Ben Duckett, English wicket keeper batsman who was dropped from the team by the England selectors way back in 2016 gave a reply which was not very well received by the netizens. He called our number one batsman, a joke.
