Virat Kohli praises Suryakumar Yadav as the best in the world. Kohli's fan says, "Shut up!"

Talismanic India batter Suryakumar Yadav played one more match-winning knock of 111 (51 balls) against New Zealand on Sunday. As a result, India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match bilateral T20 series (the first match was called off due to rain). Many in the cricket fraternity hailed Yadav's brilliant innings. Star Indian batsman Virat Kohli also lavished praise on Yadav.

In a tweet, Virat Kohli said that though he didn't see the innings (of Suryakumar Yadav) live, he was sure it was one of those video game innings again! Virat went on to add that the top batter in the world has shown why he is the best in the world!

However, for one fan, Kohli is still the king.


"You are the best in the world, shut up," tweeted the fan.



Meanwhile, Kohli's tweet about Yadav has received more than 2.8 lakh likes and 23,000 retweets. Many also reacted with memes on Yadav.

Here are some of the best reactions on Kohli's tweet:



"Every batsman need not have to play the same role in the team. We need atleast one or two anchors in the team so that we don't fall short like we did against SA despite a blistering knock from SKY. Intent is not throwing your bat around. It is scoring runs and rotating strike too," wrote another fan.

Virat Kohli’s support base has gone up after the World Cup despite India losing in the semis. Kohli finished with an average of 98+ in five games.

Meanwhile, SKY said he enjoyed playing with Virat though running between the wickets is tough with him (Virat) as he is super-fit!
