T20 World Cup 2022: "Bhai ne bola no ball hai..matlab no ball hai" - Pakistani fans accuse Virat Kohli of pressurizing umpires during India's match vs Bangladesh

Several Pakistani fans have pointed out how Team India's Virat Kohli got his way after demanding a no-ball for the second time in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 game against Bangladesh on Wednesday, November 2.

Hasan Mahmud's final ball of the 16th over was adjudged a bouncer, his second of the over, by square leg umpire Marais Erasmus.

Kohli, who faced the delivery, turned to the on-field official straightaway, suggesting that it was too high. Erasmus too was of the same opinion, ultimately signaling a no-ball.

Many Pakistani supporters took to social media, expressing displeasure over the call. They also highlighted how Kohli was awarded an over-the-waist no-ball against the Men in Green too in their opening encounter just because he had asked for it.

Here are some of the reactions:

Notably, even Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan wasn't pleased with the no-ball decision. He was spotted engaging in a discussion with Virat Kohli regarding the call. However, it didn't turn into a heated argument as the two cricket stars returned to their respective positions following a brief chat.
