Virat Kohli Fans Direct Backlash at the Wrong Himanshu Sangwan Following Ranji Trophy Setback
After Virat Kohli early dismissal in the Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Railways, where he scored 6 runs off 15 balls, his fans targeted a social media user named Himanshu Sangwan. However, they mistakenly harassed the wrong person. The real Himanshu Sangwan, a Railways pacer, had dismissed Kohli, leading to the anger directed at an unrelated Instagram user.
The Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Railways saw Virat Kohli’s disappointing return to the tournament, which sparked outrage among his fans. Kohli was dismissed for just 6 runs off 15 balls after a brilliant delivery by Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan in the 28th over.
His early dismissal triggered an angry response from Kohli’s supporters, who mistakenly targeted the wrong person on social media. Fans harassed an Instagram user named Himanshu Sangwan, whose account received a surge of hateful comments, despite him not being the player who dismissed Kohli.
Kohli’s innings began with a loud reception from the crowd, but his performance quickly soured after facing a couple of no-balls and missing a few deliveries. In an attempt to dominate Sangwan, Kohli was dismissed when he went for an expansive drive but missed a good-length delivery that shattered his off-stump.
