We all know that there is one King in cricket and it is Virat Kohli. This has been actively used by the IPL teams to start up a hilarious banter amongst each other. Recently, Kolkata Knight Riders was one of them, as the admin of their social media handles decided to play a hilarious trick to the fans.
He posted a tweet which said, “Tap the emoji to see the King smiling!” Anyone who is a cricket fan and has been watching the game for a long time would expect that the photo would be of Virat Kohli smiling. Even in the tweet, the emoji which was mentioned was the crown of a King, which the majority of fans use for Virat Kohli.

However, when the users touched the emoji, they were both shocked and surprised. Instead of Virat Kohli, it was Sunil Narine. This moment has stolen all the attention right before the Qualifier 1 game between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans.
Our Take
Various Twitter users have stormed the comments section of the latest post made by KKR, saying that the only King in the game is Virat Kohli. There was something else in this post which caught my attention. And it is the fact that Sunil Narine was actually smiling. This is one of the rare things to be captured on camera, as we have hardly seen him laugh or even smile during the game or post match presentations.
