In cricket, where every match is a saga of strategy, skill, and sometimes sheer unpredictability, moments of brilliance are often shadowed by instances of human error. Such was the case in the recent IND vs NZ match where Virat Kohli, a name synonymous with cricketing excellence, found himself at the center of a “brainfade” moment, dismissed for a mere 1 run by Mitchell Santner. This unexpected turn of events not only stunned the cricketing world but also ignited a meme fest across social media platforms, reflecting fans’ humorous take on the incident.
The memes that followed Kohli’s dismissal were not just a testament to the fans’ creativity but also a celebration of cricket’s whimsical nature. Here are some of the highlights:
