Star India batter Virat Kohli will be back in action for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy set to commence on February 9 in Nagpur. However, ahead of the series opener, Kohli posted a tweet which suggests he might have lost his phone without even unboxing it. Even though Kohli seemed unhappy, having seemingly lost his phone, it is Zomato's response to the star cricketer's tweet which is trending online.
While Kohli's tweet read: "Nothing beats the sad feeling of losing your new phone without even unboxing it ☹️ Has anyone seen it?", the restaurant aggregator and food delivery company was quick to come up with a cheeky response. "feel free to order ice cream from bhabhi's phone if that will help 😇," Zomato replied.

Meanwhile, netizens are assuming this could be another promotional strategy of some company which Kohli endorses. While others were quick to comment on Zomato's response.
"what if bhabhi uses swiggy," a user tweeted.
"Uss gareeb ka Phone gum gaya tumko dhandhe se matlab hai bas," another user chipped in.
Meanwhile, a social media user suggested that it was a blessing in disguise as the cricketer could now focus entirely on cricket. Others seemed to be keen on knowing which brand will the right-handed batter now endorse.
Even though Kohli has shown glimpses of his prime form in white-ball cricket in recent months, his Test form still deserts him with the 34-year-old's last Test century dating back to November 2019. India would hope that Kohli ends that drought in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a series which will also decide whether India will play the World Test Championship final or not.
