Fan trolls Virat Kohli for his account deactivation warning back in 2011

Virat Kohli has always been known for his extreme aggressiveness on the field. From abusing bowlers, fielders to giving send-offs, Virat Kohli never even tried to keep his emotions under the check. But in the past few years, it seems that Kohli has found a way to deal with the fans and the media. Either he clears the air with straightforward comments or he doesn’t give too much heed to any of the news. However, that wasn’t the case in the early years of his career.

Every cricket lover remembers the infamous incident during the 2011/12 Australia tour when Kohli ended up showing the middle finger to the crowd out of frustration and anger. During the same time, something similar happened on Twitter too when the current India skipper lost his cool and fired a warning at a fan.

The cricketer had told him that his account has been reported and will be deactivated soon. Kohli had also advised him not to tweet to abuse others. “@ishaan3 your account has been reported and will be deactivated soon. dont tweet if u wana use foul language,” he had tweeted.

The Twitter account of the fan, however, is still not deactivated or suspended and the man makes sure to remind Virat Kohli of the same every five years. In April 2016, he had reminded the cricketer that it’s been five years since he warned him and that his account is still safe.

And on 20th August 2020, the fan reminded Virat Kohli that it has been ten years since his ‘your account will be deactivated soon’ warning. The tweet has gone viral and is drawing hilarious reactions from others.

Virat Kohli will soon be in the UAE with the Royal Challengers Bangalore team for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The tournament is set to commence on September 19 behind closed doors and Kohli will be itching to get back on the field after a long break from the sport due to the pandemic.
