Virat Kohli, who had a slip of tongue during the toss of the 3rd T20I against England on Tuesday. Before the 3rd t20I, the series was leveled at 1-1. However, Virat Kohli mistakenly forgot the scoreline as he said team India were 2-1 up in the series.
At the toss, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli lost the toss and his team was asked to bat first. After Morgan’s interaction, Kohli was asked if the absence of the crowds will make a difference. This is when, Virat accidentally said that India was leading the series, despite having played only two games in the series. While responding to the question, Kohli made a funny goof-up and said:
“It’s good that the series is poised in a way where we are 2-1 up and England’s gonna come out hard. So, we know that we have to be at the top of our game.”
He added:
“Obviously, crowds are an added advantage and a boost playing at this level, because it adds so much more to the game and the environment and the emotion and passion of the game. But having said that you have to be professional and to come up against the top team in the world in this format, you have to be at the top of your game,”
The video of the hilarious goof-up has been going viral on social media. Here, watch the video:
