Mohammad Shahzad trolled for getting run out after commenting on Virat's fitness

Shahzad's struggle against the Indian bowling attack was clearly visible. He managed to score 14, 13 in first and second innings respectively

Afghanistan’s wicketkeeper Mohammad Shahzad was in headlines lately after his statement on Indian skipper Virat Kohli’s diet. However, it seems that after getting run out during the debut Test against India on June 15, Shahzad became the butt of jokes on social media.

A few months ago, Shahzad stated that he has the abilities to hit bigger sixes than Kohli. Then why he should follow his diet.

When the 30-year-old wicketkeeper took the field against India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, his struggle against the Indian bowling attack was clearly visible. Soon he lost his wicket while stealing a single inside the 30-yard circle. Hardik Pandya threw the ball in one quick motion while Shahzad fell short of the crease by a few feet.

After getting out twice on a single day, he was bound to face criticism for his fitness on social media.

Here’re some of the reactions:

Mohammad Shahzad:

Then - "Why to diet when you can hit bigger sixes than Virat Kohli?"

Probably now - "Why to diet when you can get run out faster than Virat Kohli?"#INDvAFG
