While the 24-year old cricketer meant it in a way how Kohli has made a mockery of some records at the highest level, it didn’t go down well with fans of Kohli. Understanding Duckett’s comment semantically, Kohli’s bountiful fans were quick to take a swing on him. Read some of the tweets on Duckett below:

Given that Duckett hadn’t posted anything derogatory on Kohli, he has been on the receiving end of severe criticism since the day before yesterday. One can only sum it down to him becoming a victim of the consequences of social media.
