IPL 2022: Wasim Jaffer posts hilarious meme depicting Virat Kohli's recent luck with bat

Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli’s struggle with the bat continued in a group stage match against the Lucknow Super Giants, as he scored a golden duck. To note, run-machine Kohli has been going through a hard phase in his international career as well and has not been able to produce the kind of performances that cricket fans are used to seeing from him.

In IPL 2022, Kohli has scored only 119 runs in seven games. While the right-handed batter has made some poor shot selections, he has also been a little unlucky including run-outs which has been a rare sight for the star player. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and domestic heavy-weight Wasim Jaffer shared a hilarious meme on his official Twitter account, to sum up, Kohli’s luck with the bat in recent times.

Here is Jaffer’s hilarious meme referring to Virat Kohli’s luck recently

Virat Kohli has been disappointing with the bat so far in the 2022 season

Coming back to the dismissal, Sri Lanka express pacer Dushmantha Chameera had taken the wicket of opener Anuj Rawat off the previous delivery and the former skipper Kohli had to come to the crease on just the sixth ball of the innings. The express pacer bowled a short-length delivery in the off-stump region that was too close to cut. However, the right-handed batter who likes to take the ball on the bat right from the word go, tentatively poked and it went straight into the hands of the point fielder Deepak Hooda.

Talking about Kohli’s numbers in the IPL, the right-handed batter has played a total of 214 matches in which he has scored 6402 at a decent average of 36.79. He has also stroked 42 fifties and five centuries in the history of the tournament.

Meanwhile, RCB after facing some early jolts in the innings made a strong comeback on the back of an excellent knock from captain Faf du Plessis (96 off 64 balls) and ended on 181/6 in their allotted 20 overs. For LSG, pacer Chameera and Jason Holder scalped two wickets each. Left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya also scalped a wicket for his side.
