A week before the start of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, the World Cup captains met in London at a traditional pre-tournament press conference, which also included the customary photo shoot of all ten men.

As soon as the ICC tweeted the image of the ten World Cup captains, fans on Twitter began to comment on the nature of the setup. India skipper Virat Kohli‘s demeanour and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson‘s pose, in particular, attracted a degree of interest and comments on Twitter.
Meanwhile Sanjay Manjrekar also thought in the same way and indicated that Kohli is likely to win the world cup as he is sitting the closest to the cup among all. Manjrekar in his tweet wrote “Look who is the closest to the trophy. 😋”
Look who is the closest to the trophy. 😋 https://t.co/V6ZHZHEh4h

On seeing this statement from Sanjay, his followers who remembered his one sided commentary in the IPL season trolled him to stop being biased already. Even though, every Indian cricket fan’s wish is to see Virat to lift the trophy, they found Sanjay’s reason as an inappropriate one.
