Pakistani pace bowler Junaid Khan is known for his fiery deliveries on the cricket field, but off the pitch, he's also quite the active tweep. 

Among the current crop of cricket players, Junaid stands out for his avid following of the game and his regular updates on Twitter (X). 

He mocked Indian cricket sensation Virat Kohli after his slow-paced century against Rajasthan at his X post.


Junaid Khan trolls Virat

Junaid Khan's mocking of Kohli's slow century against Rajasthan sparked a discussion on social media. His tweet stirred up conversation among cricket fans, highlighting the old rivalry and banter between the two players.

2017 Champions Trophy winner Junaid Khan shares a unique rivalry with Virat Kohli dating back to their under 19 days, albeit briefly. 

Junaid Khan has dismissed Kohli multiple times, and they have challenged each other in the past. 

In the last bilateral series between India and Pakistan in 2012-13, Junaid Khan managed to get Kohli out three times in the three ODI series.


Kohli's slow paced ton

RCB legend Virat Kohli scored a century against Rajasthan Royals. However, it took him 67 balls to reach his century, marking the slowest century in IPL history. 

This raised questions about Kohli's strike rate in the T20 format, particularly since he opens the innings and plays during the powerplay overs. 

Rajasthan Royals comfortably chased the score, with their opener Jos Buttler scoring an unbeaten century in just 58 balls, nine balls quicker than Kohli. 

Rajasthan emerged victorious with five balls to spare, prompting further scrutiny of Kohli's approach and effectiveness in T20 cricket.
