Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is no stranger to strange expressions and the memes they inspire. In 2017, it was his hilarious tongue-out pic that was quickly turned into a Twitter meme. This time, it's a goofy pic that the 31-year-old cricketer shared on the microblogging platform that has sent meme-makers into overdrive.
Virat Kohli posted the picture in question online on Sunday. The pic shows him with teammates Mohammad Shami and Prithvi Shaw, all of them pulling hilarious faces for the camera.
"Naya post Sundar dost," wrote Virat Kohli while sharing the photo.

Nagpur Police was among those who used the pic. The police department shared Virat Kohli's goofy photo to warn against the dangerous skull-breaker challenge.
