Following the World Cup encounter between India and Bangladesh, two major subjects have gained attention on social media. First, there was the incredible century that Indian batsman Virat Kohli scored, and then there were the arguments and memes that went viral about the non-wide call that match umpire Richard Kettleborough made and his following comments.
Superstar Virat Kohli of India, who is batting at 97, was likely to get his hundred during Thursday’s World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh. Nasum Ahmed, a left-arm spinner from Bangladesh, nearly ruined Kohli’s strategy, though, by sending a delivery down the leg side. The Bangladeshi spinner’s hopes were dashed as umpire Richard Ketlleborough declined to flag the additional run, even though it appeared to be a wide delivery.
But many were taken aback by umpire Richard Kettleborough’s surprising choice. The bowler’s intentions seemed to even surprise Kohli, but the umpire seemed to agree with his call.
The situation was made comical by umpire Richard Kettleborough’s sly smile after declaring the ball to be non-wide. This contagious smile soon inspired a plethora of memes, many of which have now gone viral on social media. Even more amusingly, some people have proposed that Richard ought to get India’s highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna.
Now let’s examine a few of these amusing memes:
