New Delhi: India skipper Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck during India’s loss to Sri Lanka in their second game of the ICC Champions Trophy in London on Thursday. Often its Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma who gets the blame for Virat’s poor performance but this time its Pakistan’s sports journalist Zainab Abbas, who is bearing the brunt.



Twitter users believe Pakistani news presenter Zainab is the reason behind Virat’s a rare naught and they are calling her ‘selfies’ cursed. And proving their belief is the case of AB de Villiers. The South African skipper captain went for his career-first golden duck in the latest match against Pakistan, after posing for a selfie with Zainab.



Here are some of the tweets:











Pakistan fans thanked Zainab Abbas and requested her to take more selfies with Sri Lankan players as Pakistan take on Sri Lanka in a do-or-die encounter on Monday.
