"Andhera tera, maine le liya" - Fans react as Virat Kohli departs for golden duck in IND vs AFG 3rd T20I

Virat Kohli got out for a golden duck during the third and final T20I between India and Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

The dismissal took place during the third over of India's innings. Kohli went for a big heave off a short ball from Fareed Ahmed Malik but got beaten by the bounce. The ball hit the shoulder of the blade and went towards Ibrahim Zadran at mid-off.

With the dismissal, Afghanistan reduced the Men in Blue to 18/2 in 2.4 overs after India chose to bat first.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) came up with mixed reactions to Virat Kohli's golden duck against Afghanistan in the third T20I. One user shared Bollywood song lyrics as a meme that read:

"Andhera tera, maine le liya, mera ujalaa sitara tere naam kiya (I took your darkness and gave my light to you)."

Here are some more reactions:

For the unversed, Virat Kohli made his comeback to T20Is after more than a year gap. The right-handed batter scored 29 runs off 16 balls in his comeback game against Afghanistan in Indore. The hosts won that match by six wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.

The 35-year-old will now look to deliver for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2024 ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies.
