Virat Kohli’s magical innings on Sunday has evoked reactions of all kinds from his admirers. Wasim Akram is one among them.

“Aliens do walk among us, he’s one of the best I’ve seen among the modern greats,” Akram told a Pakistani television channel.

Not just cricket and cricketers, Kohli’s spectacular innings seems to have impacted a lot of other people. Like Paul Heyman.

Who’s Heyman? For the uninitiated, he’s a familiar face in the WWE circuit, who’s the special counsel to wrestling superstar Roman Reigns. After Kohli’s knock on Sunday, Heyman put out a curious tweet.

“Happy #Diwali Everyone! #WWEkiDiwali. It is with great honor that I, #SpecialCounsel and #Wiseman to the #Bloodline, accept the great @ imVkohli’s celebration as - in front of the world - he decided to ACKNOWLEDGE OUR TRIBAL CHIEF @WWERomanReigns’!,” Heyman wrote on Twitter.

Heyman was referring to Kohli’s gesture of raising his finger skywards after the win. However weird Heyman’s tweet sounds, fact is Kohli’s popularity, perhaps, has transcended the boundaries of cricket.

Spidercam in the way

Melbourne: Spidercams area regularity on cricket fields these days. But an incident from Sunday’s India-Pakistan match has triggered debates on social media on its presence on the field of play.

Pakistan’s Shan Masood, who scored 52 off 42 balls in the game, was saved by the spidercam when his mistimed heave off Ravichandran Ashwin hit the camera cable. Had the ball not changed direction on impact, Masoodwould probably have been caught easily in the deep by Virat Kohli.

With India winning the game, the incident did not attract too much attention. But what if India lost the match? The ICC must think.
